Cape Conran Orbost

Orbost and Cape Conran are nearby East Gippsland areas with very different scales. Orbost is a established town where the typical resident is 53, while Cape Conran is sparsely populated with a typical age of just 21. Orbost is a hub for the region, with three schools and a walkability score of 5.4 (somewhat walkable), meaning many homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. In contrast, Cape Conran is car-dependent and has no such services. There is also a sharp divide in income, with the typical weekly personal income in Cape Conran being $1,125, which is far higher than the $489 found in Orbost.

These two places have tracked on very different paths, and the gap in their connectivity is widening. Orbost remains a focal point for the area with three public transport routes and a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. Meanwhile, Cape Conran has no public transport stops or routes. While Orbost has a higher number of people per home at 2.1, both areas sit below the national figure.
