Wreck Bay
4 km²
A steady population trend defines Wreck Bay, a small community in the Other Territories. It is a place where most people live close to nature, with every home within a short walk of a park. However, it is highly car-dependent for basic needs, as there are no shops, schools, or health services nearby. The area is largely residential and sparsely populated across its 4.3 square kilometre extent.

There are 152 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people here, who are far older and have much lower typical incomes than the national figure. This is also seen in education and language, with Year 12 completion at 16.7% and only 3.3% speaking a First Nations language, both far below the Australian average.
Wreck Bay is very car-dependent, with a walkability score far below the state average. While 100% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, no homes are within reach of groceries, health services, or schools.
