Lilydale · 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.
More than 40% of homes in Lilydale are beyond a 30-minute walk from most basic services, making the area mostly car-dependent. While health services are more accessible here than in the rest of Tasmania, few residents can easily walk to parks or public transport.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
A walkability score of 3.4 means the area is mostly car-dependent, which is well below the Tasmanian figure of 4.7. Fewer than half of all homes, at 44.8%, have a 15-minute-city walkshed.
3.4
Mostly 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.
3.7

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.

9.8%
Higher 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.
