Transport & Vehicles in Kawana
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Almost every home in Kawana relies on a car to get around, with only 4% of households lacking a motor vehicle. This heavy dependence on driving is reflected in the very low use of public transport for daily commutes. While more people are working from home than in previous years, the area remains firmly car-dependent.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Most homes have one or two cars, with 39.2% owning two vehicles. The proportion of households without a car has fallen by 5.2 percentage points since 2011 and is now well below the national figure.
