Oberon Twenty Forests

Oberon and Twenty Forests are neighbours in New South Wales, but they differ completely in how they are built. Oberon is a populated hub with 3,319 people and has a somewhat walkable score of 5.0, while Twenty Forests is largely non-residential with no population and is car-dependent. This means Oberon has far more amenities, with 58.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 69.2% near a school, whereas Twenty Forests has none of these features. Twenty Forests also has a much steeper landscape, with a mean terrain slope of 20.1% compared to 6.3% in Oberon.

These two areas have followed very different paths since 2011. While Oberon maintains a level of connectivity with 17 public transport stops and three schools within 3km, Twenty Forests remains without any of these services. The gap in walkability and accessibility between the two has stayed wide, as Twenty Forests continues to have no public transport routes or street intersections.
