Belgian Citizenship

Question

We're non-EU, about to hit 7 years as residents here, and are considering getting Belgian citizenship. We're Australian and won't lose our Australian citizenship on doing so. Just wondering before we take the plunge if there are any (adverse) factors to consider? (Compulsory voting isn't an issue, same in Oz). Thanks!
