Bentley Park Woree

Bentley Park and Woree are neighbouring areas in Cairns with very different housing styles. Bentley Park is a family-focused area where 93.9% of homes have three or more bedrooms and 96.9% are separate houses. It has a younger population, with a typical age of 32 and many children under 15. Woree is much more urban, with 51.7% of households renting and a typical resident aged 38. A standout difference is the ease of getting around on foot; 81.8% of Woree homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to just 29.8% in Bentley Park.

Both areas have a very similar First Nations population, sitting around 16%. This shared trait is seen alongside a contrast in accessibility, as Woree has far more public transport departures and a higher number of schools. While Bentley Park has a higher share of adults working or looking for work, and more people finishing Year 12, Woree is much more walkable. This gap in amenity is wide, with 80.3% of Woree homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to only 30.3% in Bentley Park.
