The score

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

The walkability score for the area is 0.9, which is far below the Queensland figure of 5.0 and marks the location as car-dependent. No homes here have a 15-minute-city walkshed, a result far below the 59.1% seen across the state.

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.

1.0

Higher than 59% of suburb / locality areas.

How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.

0.0%

Lower than 99% of suburb / locality areas.

Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.

What's in walking distance

How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

Public transport, schools, groceries and health services are all beyond a 30-minute walk for every resident, which is far below state and national figures. In contrast, 100% of homes are within 15 minutes of a park, and 51% can reach one in just 5 minutes.

Streets & terrain

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.

The terrain slope is 3.5%, which is a little below the Queensland average of 6.0%. There are 117 intersections per square kilometre, but there are no walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, a figure far below the state's 13.4.

0.0

Lower than 99% of suburb / locality areas.

Walkable amenities — shops, cafés, parks, health services, schools, cultural and community places, everyday services and public-transport stops — per 1,000 residents. Measures how much is around, apart from how far it is to walk there.

3.5%

Lower than 80% of suburb / locality areas.

Average terrain slope across the area, as a percent grade. Steeper ground shortens how far people will walk; it is already folded into the walkability score through the elevation-aware pedestrian network, and is shown here on its own for context.
