Overview

This area has fewer family doctors compared to the size of its population, and a higher number of people living with long-term or ongoing health conditions. There are also more older adults than average. Because of this, the community needs more healthcare staff, better access to medical services, and programs that help prevent illness and support healthy ageing.

Our Health Indicators Compared

How our community health compares to Greater Sydney and the NSW average.

Demographics

Our community has an older population profile than both Greater Sydney and NSW overall, with more residents aged 65 and over. Most residents speak English very well, though the area is becoming more linguistically diverse. A stable yet ageing population highlights the need for accessible services, age-friendly infrastructure, and community connection initiatives.

Health Conditions in Our Community

Our community records higher rates of long-term and chronic conditions than Greater Sydney and NSW overall, reflecting both an ageing population and limited local health service capacity.

Health Access

Our community records higher rates of long-term and chronic conditions than Greater Sydney and NSW overall, leading to higher demand for health services and more complex care requirements.

Health Workforce

A lower density of health professionals indicates potential challenges in timely access to care.

The left image is taken with a thermal camera and shows surface temperatures across the scene. Hotter areas appear red, orange and yellow — cooler areas appear blue and green.

🔴 Hotter areas appear yellow and red when viewed through the thermal camera. This means the space is hot and uncomfortable to be in, especially on peak summer days.

The right image shows the same location as a regular photograph. Note the difference in context — whether the area has shade cover, vegetation, or hard surfaces.

🟢 Cooler areas are created through tree canopy, shading and greenery. This means the space is cooler and more comfortable to be in when temperatures start to rise.

This project installs UV-blocking shade sails and canopies over playground equipment across the LGA. Thermal camera imagery confirms that shaded playground surfaces can be up to 33°C cooler on peak summer days, making playgrounds accessible and safe for children throughout summer. The project also includes planting of fast-growing shade trees around play areas to build long-term cooling capacity.
