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: Melton (Indigenous Area)

Only 37.1% of homes in Melton can reach the five key amenities needed for a 15-minute city, a figure far below the Victorian average of 74.3%. This means most residents lack easy walking access to daily essentials. While parks are very accessible, the area is generally less walkable than the state average.

Melton has a walkability score of 4.0, which is considered somewhat walkable. This is well below the Victorian figure of 6.4, and the number of different amenity types within a 15-minute walk is also well below the state average.

Parks are the easiest to reach, with 93.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk. However, other essentials are much harder to find on foot; only 39% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and just 28.7% can reach health services, both far below the state average.

The local terrain is relatively flat, with a mean slope of 2.6%, which is a little below the Victorian average of 4.7%. There are 77 street intersections per square kilometre.
