How much of daily life sits within a walk of home — a transparent 0–10 walkability score and the everyday destinations you can reach on foot: shops, public transport, schools, parks and health services, plus the streets and terrain in between.

Area: Hawkesbury (Indigenous Area)

Public transport is the most accessible amenity in Hawkesbury, but most residents remain mostly car-dependent for daily needs. Only 36.7% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, a figure far below the New South Wales average of 71.9%. This creates a significant gap in how easily people can reach essential services on foot.

The walkability score for Hawkesbury is 3.7, which means the area is mostly car-dependent. This is far below the New South Wales figure of 6.2, with residents having access to far fewer amenity types within a 15-minute walk than the state average.

While 67.5% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, access to other needs is much lower. Only 25.3% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services and just 29% are near groceries, both of which are far below state figures.

The average terrain slope is 6.9%, which is about the same as the New South Wales average of 6.8%. There are 2 intersections per square kilometre across the area.
