Bowraville Hyland Park

Bowraville and Hyland Park are two nearby areas in the Nambucca Valley with very different social profiles. Bowraville has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 24.1% and a higher share of one-parent families at 43.2%. It is also more welcoming to new arrivals, with 33.8% of people arriving from overseas recently. In contrast, Hyland Park has a much older typical resident (49 years compared to 41 in Bowraville) and a more highly qualified workforce, with 17.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher.

Both areas are almost identical in their lack of nearby essentials, as no homes in either place are within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. While they share this limitation, other gaps have widened since 2011. The difference in educational attainment has grown, and Hyland Park has seen a much larger increase in people with no religion. Bowraville remains more accessible for some, as it is mostly car-dependent while Hyland Park is simply car-dependent.
