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.
Zero homes in postcode 0885 are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, though other everyday needs are often close by. While 77.5% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed—far above the Northern Territory figure—the area is only considered somewhat walkable. This is largely because most residents can easily walk to parks, schools, and groceries, but have no nearby access to health services or transport.
