Bonney Gaven

Bonney and Gaven are neighbouring areas on the Gold Coast with very different housing and transport patterns. Bonney is more urban and transient, with a far higher share of renters (44.7%) and a much larger proportion of people who moved house in the last five years (52.3%). In contrast, Gaven is dominated by larger family homes, with separate houses appearing in 70.5% of dwellings compared to just 38.2% in Bonney. This makes Gaven more family-oriented, with a higher share of children under 15 (18.8%) and more people caring for children unpaid (28.5%).

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the typical monthly home-loan payment, which sits around $1,733 to $1,842. While they share similar mortgage costs, their accessibility differs; Bonney is far more walkable, with 84.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries compared to 45.9% in Gaven. This gap in walkability and the difference in rental rates have both widened since 2011.
