Colebee Marsden Park

Marsden Park and Colebee are neighbouring areas in Western Sydney with very different profiles. Marsden Park is a rapidly changing place where 88.9% of people have moved in since 2011, and it is far more walkable for families, with 77.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school compared to just 2.0% in Colebee. Marsden Park also has more public transport options and a higher share of people born overseas, at 52.1%. In contrast, Colebee has a higher proportion of high-earning households, with 53.1% earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 40.7% in Marsden Park.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked closely in several ways, maintaining almost identical typical weekly incomes and similar levels of school advantage. They both have high numbers of large homes and shares of residents born overseas that sit far above the national figure. However, the gap in population growth is widening, as Marsden Park has seen a much higher influx of new residents over the last few years.
