Mandogalup vs The Spectacles

Mandogalup and The Spectacles are neighbouring areas in Western Australia, though both are very sparsely populated. Mandogalup is more developed for pedestrians, with 93.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park and 56 street intersections per square kilometre. The Spectacles is much more limited, with only 11.1% of homes near a park and 16 intersections per square kilometre. However, The Spectacles has a higher share of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport (11.1% compared to 0.5% in Mandogalup).

Both areas are car-dependent and lack a 15-minute walk to groceries or health services. This lack of local amenities is a shared trait, although the gap in walkability scores has widened slightly, with Mandogalup now sitting a little higher at 1.3 compared to 0.6 in The Spectacles. Both areas are about 22 to 23 minutes from the city.
