Moonbi · 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.
About 73% of homes in Moonbi meet the 15-minute-city test, but the area remains mostly car-dependent. While many residents can walk to public transport and parks, there is a total lack of nearby groceries or health services.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
Moonbi has a walkability score of 3.5, which means it is mostly car-dependent. This is far below the New South Wales figure of 6.2, and the typical number of amenity types within a 15-minute walk is well below the state average.
3.5
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.

Lower than 67% of urban centre 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.
