A youthful First Nations community helps shape the character of Collie. While there are 374 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people here, they are noticeably younger than the state and national average. This regional area is mostly car-dependent, with few residents able to walk to basic services. It remains a place where local life is centered around the home rather than walkable hubs.
