Area: Augusta (Statistical Area 2 (SA2))

A typical slope of 5.8% means the terrain in Augusta is about the same as across Western Australia, but the area remains mostly car-dependent. Only 24.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of local amenities, which is far below the state figure. This makes the town a place where most daily trips require a vehicle.

Augusta has a walkability score of 2.0, meaning it is mostly car-dependent. This is far below the Western Australian figure of 5.4, with typical residents having access to far fewer amenity types within a 15-minute walk than in the rest of the state.

The area has one intersection per square kilometre. While there are 20.8 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, which is a little above the state figure, the layout remains sparse.
