Mount Coot-tha
15 km²
A stark contrast to the state average in walkability, Mount Coot-tha is a largely non-residential area. It is a sparsely populated landscape that serves more as a hub for education and recreation than a typical neighbourhood. While it has a high number of schools and parks, the lack of permanent residents means it does not function as a standard residential community.
