Lockhart River · Indigenous Area
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.
A stark contrast in accessibility defines Lockhart River, where most homes are close to the school and shop but far from health services. While these central hubs are easy to reach, the area is otherwise mostly car-dependent with a walkability score of 2.2, which is far below the Queensland figure of 5.0.

Share of homes (G-NAF addresses) in Lockhart River by walking time to the nearest amenity of each type, on an elevation-aware pedestrian network. How we calculate this →
The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
Very few homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, with 0.0% compared to 59.1% across Queensland. This is reflected in the low number of amenity types within a 15-minute walk, which is far below the state average.
2.2
Mostly car-dependent of indigenous area areas.
A 0–10 score for how much of daily life sits within an easy walk of the average home — weighing how close groceries, public transport, cafés, parks, health services, schools, culture and everyday services are, and how many of each. Walking times are measured on an elevation-aware pedestrian network, so hills count against reach. The methodology page describes how the score is put together.
