Holloways Beach Trinity Beach

Trinity Beach and Holloways Beach are neighbouring coastal areas in Cairns with very different levels of convenience. Trinity Beach is much more walkable, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (69.9% vs 28.8%), health services (57.3% vs 0.0%), and schools (51.2% vs 3.3%). It is also a more mobile area, with far more people having moved in the last five years (52.6% vs 42.0%) and a typical weekly household income that is well higher at $1,681 compared to $1,342 in Holloways Beach.

Both areas share similar rates of full-time employment and home ownership, and almost every home in both places is within a 15-minute walk of a park. However, the gap in walkability and infrastructure is wide, as Trinity Beach has far more intersections per square kilometre (111 vs 39). This contrast extends to First Nations residents, who are far older in Holloways Beach (typical age 32 vs 23) and face a much higher unemployment rate (20.0% vs 6.5%) than those in Trinity Beach.
