The score

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

The walkability score is 4.1, which means the area is somewhat walkable. This is well below the New South Wales average of 6.2, and the typical number of amenity types within a 15-minute walk is also well below the state figure.

4.1

Somewhat walkable of indigenous area areas.

A 0–10 score for how much of daily life sits within an easy walk of the average home — weighing how close groceries, public transport, cafés, parks, health services, schools, culture and everyday services are, and how many of each. Walking times are measured on an elevation-aware pedestrian network, so hills count against reach. The methodology page describes how the score is put together.

4.5

Higher than 63% of indigenous area areas.

How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.

51.7%

Higher than 57% of indigenous area areas.

Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.

What's in walking distance

How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

Parks are the most accessible amenity, with 39% of homes just a 5-minute walk away. In contrast, groceries and schools are harder to reach, as 45% of homes are more than 30 minutes away from both.

Streets & terrain

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.

The terrain is very flat, with a mean slope of 2.6% which is well below the New South Wales figure of 6.8%. There are 0 intersections per square kilometre for street connectivity.

2.6%

Lower than 91% of indigenous area areas.

Average terrain slope across the area, as a percent grade. Steeper ground shortens how far people will walk; it is already folded into the walkability score through the elevation-aware pedestrian network, and is shown here on its own for context.
