Rollingstone · 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.
A gentle 5.4% average slope means the terrain in Rollingstone is about the same as across Queensland, yet the area remains car-dependent. No homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, and the walkability score of 0.9 is far below the state figure of 5.0.

0.9
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.
