Mount Taylor Waterholes

Mount Taylor and Waterholes are two nearby areas in East Gippsland, though they differ greatly in scale and wealth. Mount Taylor has a population of 330 people, whereas Waterholes is sparsely populated with just 12 residents. The gap in wealth is stark: the typical weekly household income in Mount Taylor is $1,764, which is far higher than the $824 seen in Waterholes. Mount Taylor also has more residents per home, with 2.6 people per dwelling compared to 1.5 in Waterholes, and it is much younger, with a typical age of 42 compared to 60 in Waterholes.

Both areas have tracked similarly over time, remaining entirely car-dependent with no residents within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. They share a complete lack of public transport stops and routes. While Mount Taylor has a few more walkable amenities per 1,000 residents and one school within 3 km, both places are far from the national figure for accessibility. This shared isolation is consistent across both areas, where almost no homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park or school.
