Collinsville vs Cape Conway

Collinsville and Cape Conway are two very different parts of the Whitsunday region. Collinsville is a residential hub with 3,898 people, 483 businesses, and eight schools. In contrast, Cape Conway is largely non-residential and sparsely populated, with no recorded population or businesses. The environment also differs sharply, as Cape Conway is much wetter with an average annual rainfall of 1,751mm, compared to 594mm in Collinsville.

Both places share a very similar car-dependent walkability score and no residents live within a 10 minute walk of public transport. While Cape Conway has a higher share of homes within a 15 minute walk of a park, Collinsville is far more likely to have schools and health services within a short walk. These gaps in services are consistent with Collinsville being a populated centre and Cape Conway being an area with almost no residents.
