Bourkelands Turvey Park

Turvey Park and Bourkelands are neighbouring areas with similar population sizes, yet they offer very different lifestyles. Turvey Park is a much more walkable and connected hub, where 94.8% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed and residents have far more access to health services and groceries. It also has a significantly higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 32.7%. In contrast, Bourkelands is mostly car-dependent and more family-focused, with a higher share of children under 15 (23.3%) and more four-bedroom homes.

Both areas have followed a similar trajectory since 2011, remaining closely matched in several core areas. They share the same typical resident age of 35 and have nearly identical proportions of detached houses. While Turvey Park has far more public transport stops and departures, the actual number of people in both areas who commute by public transport remains very low, sitting at around 0.2% to 0.3%.
