Walkability in Coppabella

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 36.2% of homes in Coppabella pass the 15-minute city test, a figure far below the Queensland average. This makes the area mostly car-dependent, with very few essential services reachable on foot for most residents. The most striking gap is in health services and public transport, which are completely out of walking reach for everyone.
