Default Cost of living - Gold Coast

Hi all

This is my first thread on the update forum and I hope I am asking the right thing at the right place.
We received our 175 visa and need to validate it by July 2011.
Can anyone kindly advise of cost of living, initial set up costs and essential outgoings. i.e. food, car registration, drivers licence, road tax, council tax (as in UK), water, electric etc. We are a family of 4 heading for the Gold Coast hopefully the Coomera area / surrounding suburbs.

Any advice is much appreciated with thanks

Lyndsey
