Lilli Pilli · Suburb / Locality
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.
Nearly every home in Lilli Pilli is within a short walk of public transport and parks, yet few are close to shops or doctors. While the area is rated as somewhat walkable, it has far fewer homes within a 15-minute walk of a full range of services compared to the state average. This makes it a place where nature and transit are easy to reach, but daily errands often require a car.

5.3
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.
