Gravelly Beach Robigana

Gravelly Beach and Robigana are neighbouring areas in Tasmania, but they have very different profiles. Robigana is much older, with a typical resident aged 57 compared to 46 in Gravelly Beach, and a far higher share of seniors at 36%. Residents in Robigana are also more likely to have been born overseas (34.2% compared to 12.3%) and to have completed Year 12. In contrast, Gravelly Beach has more people living alone (30.2%) and more homes within walking distance of parks, groceries, and public transport.

Everyday life in both places shares several similarities, including typical weekly household incomes of around $1,300 and a similar share of children under 15. Both areas are almost entirely dependent on cars, as no one commutes by public transport and neither has a 15-minute-city walkshed. While Gravelly Beach is described as mostly car-dependent and Robigana as car-dependent, both remain far more reliant on vehicles than the national figure.
