Chevallum Woombye

Woombye and Chevallum are neighbouring areas on the Sunshine Coast with very different layouts. Woombye is more developed, with a walkability score of 4.0 (mostly car-dependent) and many more homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools, and health services. In contrast, Chevallum is more rural and car-dependent, with every single home being a separate house. There are also notable wealth gaps: 30.3% of Chevallum households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 18.2% in Woombye.

Both areas share a very similar profile of residents, including almost identical shares of people born overseas and those using another language at home. They also have nearly the same typical weekly family income of around $2,000. While they share these basics, Woombye remains far more connected with a much higher number of public transport stops and departures, whereas Chevallum has none.
