Ampilatwatja and Outstations · 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.
Far fewer amenities are within walking distance in Ampilatwatja and Outstations than in other Northern Territory areas. While schools, health services, and parks are often very close to home, there are no grocery stores or public transport options within a 15-minute walk. This makes the area mostly car-dependent for basic needs.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

2.0
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.
