About Yourtown

Yourtown (formerly BoysTown) is an ACNC-registered charity that supports at-risk young Australians through crisis services, accommodation, education, and employment programs. Per the operator's official page, prize home draws like yourtown prize home 547 fund these essential youth services nationwide.

The charity operates Kids Helpline, a 24/7 counselling service for young Australians in crisis. Yourtown also provides crisis accommodation for homeless youth, school engagement programs, and employment pathways. Every ticket purchased directly funds these programs. In Australia, approximately 1 in 4 young people experience mental health challenges — Yourtown's services fill a gap government funding alone cannot cover.

The Prize: What You're Actually Winning

Draw 547's prize is a fully furnished home at 2 Kanooka Crescent, Bogangar NSW 2488. The property sits in a beachside suburb on the NSW Far North Coast, approximately 15 kilometres south of the Queensland border.

Property specifications:

• 4 bedrooms
• 2 bathrooms
• 4 car spaces
• 322 square metres total floor area
• 576 square metres total land area
• Fully furnished
• Swimming pool
• Pizza oven
• 6.6 kilowatt solar system
• Zoned ducted air conditioning

The home is move-in ready. You inherit the fully furnished interior, outdoor entertainment spaces, and solar infrastructure. No renovation or furnishing costs apply. The property is registered in the winner's name — you own it outright, subject to any outstanding council rates or land tax obligations in NSW.

Bogangar is a quiet residential area with beach access. Recent comparable properties in the suburb have ranged from $1.8 million to $3.2 million depending on land size and improvements.
