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.

Area: Gold Coast Hinterland (Sub-region (SA3))

Almost no homes in the Gold Coast Hinterland are within a short walk of public transport, making the area almost entirely car-dependent. Only 15% of households have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the Queensland figure of 59.1%. This is a place where most daily needs require a vehicle.

The walkability score is 1.5, which means the area is car-dependent and far below the Queensland figure of 5.0. On average, there are only 1.5 amenity types within a 15-minute walk, compared to 4.8 across the state.

Access to essentials is limited, with only 20.1% of homes within 15 minutes of groceries and just 10.6% near a school. While parks are the most common amenity, 32% of homes are still more than 30 minutes away from one, and 100% of residents live more than 30 minutes from public transport.

The terrain is quite steep, with a mean slope of 13.0%, which is well above the Queensland figure of 6.0%. There are 2 intersections per square kilometre, and the area has 14.2 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, which is about the same as the state average.
