Suburb profile

Colley is a welcoming smaller community in Streaky Bay, with a settled community character. Remote from the metro area in the best sense: quiet streets, big skies and a town that runs on its own timetable. Long-term locals and family households define much of the community, with a strong working population.

Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.

This is a mature, settled pocket where the existing streetscape still defines the local character.
