# Transport & Vehicles — Sandstone

How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.

Area: Sandstone (Council (LGA))

Zero households without a car makes Sandstone one of the most vehicle-dependent areas in the region. Every single home here has at least one motor vehicle, reflecting a total reliance on private transport for daily life.

Most homes have two vehicles (52.5%), and over a fifth of households own four or more. The share of homes with no car has fallen 7.7 percentage points since 2011 to reach 0.0%, which is well below the national figure.

No one uses public transport to get to work, which is much lower than most areas. Instead, 20.5% of people work from home—a figure far above the state average that has risen 11 percentage points since 2011.

Public transport is non-existent in Sandstone, with zero stops and zero routes. This lack of access is far below the Western Australian average for both the number of stops and weekly departures per 1,000 people.
