Clarence vs Newnes Plateau

Clarence and Newnes Plateau are two nearby rural areas, but they differ in how they are built and used. Clarence is more developed, with four schools within 3 km and far more street intersections per square kilometre than Newnes Plateau. In contrast, Newnes Plateau is largely non-residential and sits much further from the city, with a drive time of 177 minutes compared to 101 minutes in Clarence.

Both areas are quite remote, which is reflected in their low levels of public transport. While Clarence has more transport stops and routes, Newnes Plateau has none. This lack of infrastructure is consistent across the region, as both areas sit well above the national figure for drive times to the city.
