Suburb profile
Rockley 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. An older demographic makes it especially popular with retirees, with multiple generations sharing the same neighbourhood.
Reasonable public transport access helps with commuting and getting around locally. Homes offer solid value for the lifestyle on offer.
Renewal is happening in measured doses, with new development complementing what is already there.
