Redland Bay · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
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 slightly flatter landscape than the Queensland average helps Redland Bay feel somewhat walkable for its residents. While the overall walkability score of 5.1 is about the same as the state figure, 71.7% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far above the state average.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

5.1
Somewhat walkable of statistical area 2 (sa2) 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.
5.2
Lower than 52% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.

Lower than 60% of statistical area 2 (sa2) 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.
