The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score of 5.7 is about the same as the state average. While most homes can reach several different amenity types within a 15-minute walk, the variety of those services is only about the same as across New South Wales.
5.7
Somewhat walkable of suburb / locality 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.
