Transport & Vehicles in Coonamble
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Almost every home in Coonamble relies on a car to get around, as public transport is very limited. Only 8.1% of households have no motor vehicle, a figure that has fallen 4 percentage points since 2011. This high car dependence is reflected in the way people travel for work and the lack of available transit options.
Vehicles

Most households have at least one car, with 32.6% owning two and 24.1% owning three or more. Those without a vehicle make up 8.1% of the area, which is higher than most similar areas.
