Coomera · State Electorate
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.
Fewer people can reach a variety of shops and services on foot in Coomera than in other Queensland areas. While many homes are close to parks and transport, only 37.5% of residents have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the state figure of 59.1%. This makes the area somewhat walkable overall.

4.1
Somewhat walkable of state electorate 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.
