St Pauls Village, located on Moa Island in the Torres Strait, offers a unique and culturally rich living experience that is deeply intertwined with the traditions of the Torres Strait Islander people. The housing market here is distinctive compared to mainland Australian cities, reflecting the remote and community-oriented lifestyle of the area. Housing is primarily community-owned and managed, with traditional designs that emphasize functionality and alignment with the tropical climate. As the village is part of the Torres Strait Island Regional Council, the availability of housing is influenced by local governance and the specific needs of the island community. Opportunities for new housing developments are relatively limited, focusing on sustainable growth that respects the cultural and environmental sensitivities of the island.
Living in St Pauls Village offers an experience that is unlike any found in urban settings. Residents enjoy a slower pace of life, surrounded by natural beauty and strong community ties. The island's isolation fosters a sense of self-sufficiency and cooperation among its inhabitants, many of whom engage in traditional practices such as fishing and crafting. Cultural events and communal activities are central to life on the island, reflecting the rich heritage of the Torres Strait Islanders. While modern amenities and services are available, they are balanced with a strong emphasis on maintaining cultural practices and living sustainably. Access to the village is primarily by air and sea, adding an element of adventure to living in this remote yet vibrant community.
