Kirrawee Oyster Bay

Kirrawee and Oyster Bay are neighbouring areas with very different residential profiles. Kirrawee is a more mobile and urban place, where 41.1% of people moved in during the last five years and 29.5% of households rent. It is a walker's paradise with high street connectivity and a walkability score of 8.2. In contrast, Oyster Bay is dominated by larger, owner-occupied homes, with 80% being separate houses and 91.6% having three or more bedrooms. Wealth is also higher in Oyster Bay, where 49.6% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 29.8% in Kirrawee.

These two areas are becoming more distinct in their housing and income patterns. While they share similar unemployment rates and nearly identical proportions of First Nations residents, the gap in household income and home ownership is significant. Kirrawee remains more diverse, with a higher share of people born overseas and those using another language at home. However, both areas sit well above the national figure for the number of public transport stops per 1,000 people.
