Pyrenees · 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.
Fewer than 31% of homes in Pyrenees are within a 15-minute walk of local amenities, making the area mostly car-dependent. This is far below the Victorian figure of 74.3%. While some residents have a park nearby, most of the region lacks a network of shops and services within easy walking distance.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score for Pyrenees is 2.3, which means it is mostly car-dependent. This is far below the Victorian figure of 6.4, with residents having access to far fewer amenity types within a 15-minute walk than the state average.
2.3
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.
2.4
Lower than 85% 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.
31.9%
Lower than 78% 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.
The area has a mean terrain slope of 5.0%, which is about the same as the Victorian average. There is one intersection per square kilometre, while the number of walkable amenities per 1,000 residents is far above the state figure.
27.1
Higher than 70% 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
Lower than 51% 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.
5.0%
Higher than 56% 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.
