Community Participation in Delaneys Creek
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A sharp drop in volunteering defines the recent trend in Delaneys Creek (L), where only 10.5% of people now give their time to others. This is well below the national figure and marks a significant shift from a decade ago. While community volunteering has fallen, unpaid family care and housework remain very common here.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Only 10.5% of residents volunteer, which is much lower than most areas and well below the Queensland figure of 14.1%. This represents a steep decline from 2011, when the rate was 22.8%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid work is very common, with 31.9% of people caring for children and 26.7% doing at least 15 hours of housework weekly, both figures being well above the national average. Conversely, 11.1% provide other unpaid care, which is much lower than most areas.
