Glen Innes Severn · Council (LGA)
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 slightly flatter landscape than the state average doesn't stop Glen Innes Severn from being mostly car-dependent. Only 51.2% of homes have the basic amenities needed for a 15-minute city lifestyle, which is far below the New South Wales figure. This makes the area much less walkable than typical parts of the state.

3.8
Mostly car-dependent of council (lga) 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.
