Landsborough · 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.
Far fewer homes in Landsborough are within a short walk of daily needs compared to the rest of Queensland. Most of the area is mostly car-dependent, with only 17.1% of households having the amenities of a 15-minute city within reach. While many people can easily reach a park, very few can walk to health services or groceries.

2.9
Mostly car-dependent 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.
