Trundle · 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 very gentle slope of 2.9% makes Trundle easier to walk around than the New South Wales average. While the typical home is within a 15-minute walk of most essential services, the area is still considered somewhat walkable with a score of 5.5. This is because almost every resident can easily reach health services and groceries, but no one has access to public transport.

5.5
Somewhat walkable 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.
