# Walkability — Gippsland

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: Gippsland (Indigenous Area)

Far fewer people can access daily needs on foot in Gippsland than in other Victorian areas. The region is mostly car-dependent, with only 35.5% of homes falling within a 15-minute-city walkshed. This is far below the state figure of 74.3%.

A walkability score of 3.3 means the area is mostly car-dependent, which is far below the Victorian average of 6.4. Residents have access to far fewer amenity types within a 15-minute walk than the state average.

Access to basics is limited; while 59% of homes are near a park, only 30.4% are within a 15-minute walk of health services, both far below state figures. For many, the distance is significant, with over half of all homes more than 30 minutes away from health services or cultural spots.

The average terrain slope is 4.8%, which is about the same as the rest of Victoria. There is one intersection per square kilometre.
