Moree Plains

18,284 km²

A walkability score of just 1.8 marks Moree Plains as a highly car-dependent region. This expansive area of New South Wales is defined by its remote nature, where few homes are within walking distance of essential services. The community is shaped by these geographic distances and a distinct First Nations population that faces significant economic and educational challenges compared to the rest of the country.
