Transport & Vehicles in Kangaroo Point
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Just five minutes is all it takes to drive from Kangaroo Point to the city. This central location means many residents live without a car, and far more people work from home or use public transport than in the typical Queensland suburb.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
About 12.2% of homes here have no motor vehicle, which is well above the Queensland figure of 5.8%. While this is much higher than most areas, the proportion of car-free homes has fallen from 16.6% since 2011.
