Gannawarra · 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 gentle terrain with a 2.7% slope makes Gannawarra slightly flatter than the Victorian average, yet it remains mostly car-dependent. Only 54.1% of homes have easy walking access to daily needs, which is far below the state figure of 74.3%.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score is 3.9, meaning the area is mostly car-dependent and far below the Victorian average of 6.4. This is reflected in the fact that homes here have far fewer amenity types within a 15-minute walk than the state average.
3.9
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.
4.3
Higher than 59% of council (lga) 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.
54.1%
Higher than 60% of council (lga) 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.
How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.
Street connectivity is 1 intersection per square kilometre. While the area has 33.2 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents—far above the Victorian figure of 15.7—the flat land does not offset the lack of nearby services.
33.2
Higher than 76% of council (lga) areas.
Walkable amenities — shops, cafés, parks, health services, schools, cultural and community places, everyday services and public-transport stops — per 1,000 residents. Measures how much is around, apart from how far it is to walk there.
1
Higher than 53% of council (lga) areas.
Walkable street intersections per square kilometre. Denser, better-connected street grids give more direct routes on foot than winding, cul-de-sac layouts.
2.7%
Lower than 92% of council (lga) 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.
