Lizard · 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.
Lizard fails the 15-minute city test as most residents can only reach a park on foot. While there are 169.2 walkable amenities per 1,000 people—far above the Queensland figure of 13.4—almost no essential services are within walking distance.
Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.
The area has 6 intersections per square kilometre. This layout supports a high number of amenities per person compared to the state average, though these are mostly parks.
