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 walkability score of 1.7 makes postcode 6123 car-dependent, which is far below the Western Australian figure of 5.4. Residents face significant gaps in local access, as no homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. This means almost every daily trip requires a vehicle.
