Dawes Point Kirribilli

Kirribilli and Dawes Point are neighbouring harbour-side areas with very different profiles. Dawes Point is far more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $4,708 compared to $2,267 in Kirribilli. Residents in Dawes Point are also far older, with a typical age of 55 compared to 44 in Kirribilli. Housing differs sharply; Kirribilli is dominated by renters (63.5%) and single-person households (50.2%), while homes in Dawes Point are far more likely to be owned outright (41.2%) and be larger, with 62.4% having three or more bedrooms.

Both areas are perfectly suited for a car-free lifestyle, as every single home in both Kirribilli and Dawes Point is within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 15-minute walk of a park. This shared accessibility is consistent with the high number of residents in both areas who hold bachelor degrees or higher. While both are wealthy by national standards, the gap in incomes and typical rent — which is far higher in Dawes Point at $1,450 a week — has remained significant.
