Berrambool Pambula Beach

Pambula Beach and Berrambool are neighbouring areas in the Bega Valley, but they have very different resident profiles. Pambula Beach is much older, with a typical resident aged 54 compared to 46 in Berrambool. This is reflected in the housing and lifestyle, as Pambula Beach has far more homes owned outright (52.8% versus 39.3%) and a much higher share of volunteers at 29.2%. In contrast, Berrambool has a younger feel, with far more one-parent families (20.7% versus 9.0%) and a higher proportion of renters (30.8% versus 18.8%).

Both areas are similarly somewhat walkable and have almost identical numbers of people per home. While they share these basic traits, the two areas differ in their access to services. Berrambool is far better placed for health services, with 57% of homes within a 15-minute walk compared to none in Pambula Beach. However, Pambula Beach has far more public transport stops and departures. These differences have remained distinct, though nearly half of Berrambool's residents have moved there in the last five years, a higher rate than in Pambula Beach.
