Benalla Moira

Benalla and Moira are two different types of regional hubs. Benalla is more developed and walkable, with a typical resident who is 51 and an area where 82.7% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Moira is largely car-dependent, where 98.1% of homes are separate houses and the typical age is 48. The most striking differences are in their layouts and services; Benalla has far more amenities within walking distance, such as health services and groceries, while Moira is much more reliant on cars for basic needs.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who speak little or no English. They also share very similar typical weekly personal incomes, with Benalla at $645 and Moira at $666. Over time, some of the gaps between them have grown; the difference in the number of people living alone has widened, and Benalla now has a significantly higher proportion of residents aged 65 and over compared to Moira.
