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 half of the homes in postcode 2749 are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, which is far below the state average. While most of the area is considered somewhat walkable, this lack of nearby shopping creates a significant gap in daily convenience. The area is generally accessible, but the typical resident faces a much longer walk for basic food and supplies than people in other parts of New South Wales.
