Narangba - Burpengary · Sub-region (SA3)
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.

Only 33.8% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the state figure of 59.1%.
