Area: Mornington Peninsula (Indigenous Area)

Fewer than 52% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school, marking a major gap in the Mornington Peninsula. This makes the area somewhat walkable overall, though it sits well below the Victorian average for accessibility to daily needs.

Parks are the most accessible amenity, with 90% of homes within a 15-minute walk. In contrast, health services are the hardest to reach, with only 43.5% of homes nearby, far below the 64.2% seen across Victoria.
