Doonbah The Gap
Doonbah and The Gap (Richmond Valley - NSW) are neighbouring areas with very different levels of activity. Doonbah is a residential area with 298 people and more infrastructure, including two schools and six public transport stops. In contrast, The Gap (Richmond Valley - NSW) is largely non-residential with a population of zero. This difference is seen in their accessibility; 87.7% of homes in Doonbah are within a 10 minute walk of public transport, while The Gap (Richmond Valley - NSW) has no such access.
Both areas are essentially car-dependent, with neither having any homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or parks. This lack of local amenities is a shared trait, though Doonbah remains more connected with a higher walkability score. While both areas are similarly regarded for school advantage, the typical school size is far higher in The Gap (Richmond Valley - NSW) than in Doonbah.
