Djiru vs Garners Beach

Garners Beach and Djiru are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Garners Beach has a small population of 31 people and is more developed, with 44.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park. In contrast, Djiru is largely non-residential with no population and has much steeper terrain, with a mean slope of 18.4% compared to 8.2% in Garners Beach. Djiru also has more schools within 3 km, with one compared to none in Garners Beach.

Both areas are car-dependent, which is reflected in their low walkability scores. They also share a lack of nearby public transport and grocery stores. The gap in amenity types within a 15-minute walk has widened over time, with Garners Beach now far higher than Djiru.
