Dolans Bay Greenhills Beach

Greenhills Beach and Dolans Bay are neighbouring areas in the Sutherland Shire, yet they have different profiles. Greenhills Beach is a younger area where the typical resident is 37 and 25.3% of people are children under 15, which helps explain why 36.7% of adults provide unpaid childcare. It is also more transient, with 56.1% of people moving in the last five years, and more expensive to rent, at a typical weekly cost of $1,625. In contrast, Dolans Bay is older and more established; the typical age is 41, and 45.7% of homes are owned outright compared to 29.3% in Greenhills Beach.

These two areas are almost identical in the size of their First Nations populations, both sitting around 1.2% to 2.0%. They also share very similar housing characteristics, such as the typical monthly home-loan payment of $4,000 and the fact that over 95% of homes have three or more bedrooms. However, daily life differs in terms of accessibility. Dolans Bay is more walkable, with 77.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while only 5.5% of homes in Greenhills Beach have that same access.
