The typical resident has access to 5.3 amenity types within a 15-minute walk, which is a little below the state figure. About 67.7% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, a result that is well below the New South Wales average of 71.9%.

4.9

Somewhat walkable of postcode 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.

5.3

Higher than 70% of postcode 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.

67.7%

Higher than 69% of postcode 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.

Access to health services is a strong point, with 67.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk, which is far above the state average. However, access to schools is the weakest, as only 51.1% of homes are within a 15-minute walk, far below the state figure of 76.0%.

Streets & terrain

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

The area has 32 intersections per square kilometre and 10.4 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, which is well below the New South Wales figure of 14.7.

10.4

Lower than 83% of postcode 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.

18.6%

Higher than 99% of postcode 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.
