Manning Point · Urban Centre
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 walkability score of 3.6 makes Manning Point mostly car-dependent, far below the New South Wales figure. While almost every home is within a 15-minute walk of a park and groceries, no one can walk to a school or health service. This means the area is highly convenient for basic needs but requires a car for essential services.

Share of homes (G-NAF addresses) in Manning Point by walking time to the nearest amenity of each type, on an elevation-aware pedestrian network. How we calculate this →
The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The area is mostly car-dependent, with a score far below the state average. No homes here meet the 15-minute-city standard, and residents have access to far fewer amenity types within a short walk than people in other parts of New South Wales.
3.6
Mostly car-dependent of urban centre 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.

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.
