Imagine a place where your commute is a short walk, where friendly faces greet you daily, and where starting a business feels like joining a supportive community. Leeton Shire offers all this and more. For Bree Tucker, moving from the bustling Gold Coast to Leeton meant finding a work-life balance that made sense. Now thriving in her business, Bree highlights the convenience, connection, and opportunities that make Leeton the ideal place for a tree change.
Leeton isn’t just a great place to live; it's also full of opportunities for entrepreneurs. Bree's business, Haús of Vitality, which provides luxury wellness services, is a shining example of how innovative ideas can take root and flourish in regional areas. With her background in holistic health, Bree saw an opportunity to offer something unique to Leeton—a wellness business with a modern twist. “Starting a business in Leeton has been incredibly rewarding,” Bree shares. “The community here really rallies behind you, and there's so much support for small businesses.”
Leeton’s affordable cost of living makes it easier for new entrepreneurs to start and sustain businesses. Bree’s story proves that regional towns like Leeton are not just quiet retreats but vibrant hubs where people with new ideas and fresh energy can truly make an impact. “People in small towns want and expect the same high-quality services they’d find in the city,” she says. “And when you deliver that, they support you wholeheartedly.”
If you're looking for a place to raise a family, Leeton’s close-knit community makes it an ideal choice. Bree and her husband decided to settle down in Leeton to be near his family, and they now have a young son who is thriving in the community. “Raising our son in a small town was important to me,” Bree explains. “The community here is incredibly welcoming, and the sense of safety and support we have for our family is unmatched.”
Leeton’s local schools, parks, and sports facilities provide plenty of opportunities for children to grow and explore. With short commutes, more time for after-school activities, and a slower pace of life, Leeton gives families the space to enjoy quality time together. Bree says, “It’s so refreshing to have everything we need within such a short distance. My commute is three minutes, and that means more time with my family.”
Leeton’s reputation as the Heart of Australia’s Food Bowl comes from its rich agricultural history and flourishing industries like rice, wine, and citrus production. But beyond its economic backbone, it’s the people who make Leeton truly special. Bree talks about the ease of building strong community connections in Leeton, which has been key to her business success and personal fulfillment. “The people here are extremely inviting, especially if you involve yourself in the community. The support for local business is incredible,” she says.
For those looking to become part of a vibrant and supportive community, Leeton is a place where everyone knows each other, and newcomers are welcomed with open arms. There’s a sense of pride in local accomplishments, and the town’s residents are always ready to help each other out.
Leeton's lifestyle is one that encourages well-being and balance. Bree's business is just one example of how residents in Leeton are embracing the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. Whether it's hiking through the nearby Fivebough Wetlands, enjoying local produce from the bustling farmers' markets, or simply appreciating the slower pace of life, Leeton offers many ways to focus on physical and mental health.
Bree believes the lifestyle in Leeton is a breath of fresh air compared to the stresses of city living. “I love the fresh air here,” she says. “Being outdoors, walking, and paddleboarding in the river in summer is my favourite thing to do. It’s good for the soul.” The lack of traffic, the quiet mornings, and the wide-open spaces have all contributed to a better work-life balance for Bree and her family.
Arts and Culture
Leeton is not only a hub for nature lovers but also offers rich cultural experiences. The town is home to the Roxy Theatre, set to reopen in 2024 after redevelopment, offering live performances and film screenings. Leeton’s unique blend of heritage, arts, and festivals create a lively cultural atmosphere that enhances the regional living experience.
For anyone considering a tree change, Leeton offers the best of both worlds—peaceful, small-town living with the convenience of modern amenities and a community that will embrace you as one of their own. Whether you're an entrepreneur looking to launch your next big idea, a family looking for a safe and supportive environment, or someone seeking a more balanced, fulfilling life, Leeton is a place where you can truly belong.
For Bree, and many more Country Changers who have made the move, Leeton is more than just a place to live; it’s a thriving community with endless opportunities for personal, professional, and family growth.
