Suburb profile
Evans Plains is a welcoming smaller community in Bathurst Regional, with a settled community character. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with plenty of young families in the mix.
Transport options are solid enough for daily errands and regular trips further afield. Housing carries a premium, but residents tend to feel the lifestyle justifies the commitment.
A trickle of new development is refreshing selected pockets without changing the overall feel.
