The score

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

The area is considered car-dependent, with a walkability score of 1.1. No homes here have a 15-minute-city walkshed, a figure far below the 59.1% seen across Queensland.

1.1

Car-dependent of indigenous location 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.

1.4

Lower than 84% of indigenous location areas.

How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.

0.0%

Lower than 99% of indigenous location areas.

Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.

What's in walking distance

How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

While 67.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, no homes are within walking distance of schools, groceries, health services, or public transport. This reflects a lack of local amenities, as 100% of homes are more than 30 minutes away from most essential services.

Streets & terrain

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.

The terrain slope is 5.1%, which is about the same as the Queensland average of 6.0%. There are zero street intersections per square kilometre.

5.1%

Higher than 60% of indigenous location areas.

Average terrain slope across the area, as a percent grade. Steeper ground shortens how far people will walk; it is already folded into the walkability score through the elevation-aware pedestrian network, and is shown here on its own for context.
