Nambour Rosemount

Nambour and Rosemount are neighbouring areas on the Sunshine Coast with very different characters. Nambour is a very walkable hub where 75.9% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 38% of homes are rented. In contrast, Rosemount is car-dependent, with no homes within 15 minutes of a school, health services, or groceries. Rosemount is also wealthier and older; the typical resident is 48 compared to 40 in Nambour, and 23% of Rosemount households earn $3,000 or more a week, while only 7.9% of Nambour households do.

Both areas are similar in the proportion of people born overseas, which sits at around 17%. This commonality exists alongside a stark divide in housing and transport, as Nambour has a far higher share of renters and far more public transport stops. While Nambour has a larger First Nations population and far more one-parent families, Rosemount has a much higher rate of First Nations Year 12 completion at 70.8%.
