Benalla
24 km²
A small number of First Nations people and a low walkability score set Benalla apart from similar areas. This regional hub is quite accessible for public transport, but many residents live far from essential health services and groceries. While the town is generally flat, it is less walkable than the Victorian average, with fewer amenities within a short stroll for many households.
