Koolpinyah vs Lambells Lagoon

Lambells Lagoon and Koolpinyah are two nearby areas in the Northern Territory. Lambells Lagoon is home to 239 people and has a far larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population than Koolpinyah, where there are none. In contrast, Koolpinyah is largely non-residential and has more schools within 3 km and a far higher number of amenity types within a 15-minute walk.

Both areas are car-dependent and share very similar terrain. While some gaps have shifted over time, they both have no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services or public transport. This lack of local services is consistent across both locations.
