Bunya Mountains · 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.
Steep hills and a 17.4% average terrain slope make Bunya Mountains a challenging place to get around on foot. The area is car-dependent, with no homes located within a 15-minute walk of a '15-minute city' hub. This reflects a landscape where basic services are far apart and the ground is far steeper than across Queensland.

Car-dependent 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.
