Dysart · 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.
Just over half of homes in Dysart pass the 15-minute-city test, which is well below the Queensland figure. This is a mostly car-dependent area where residents can easily walk to schools and parks, but struggle to reach basic shops and transport on foot.

3.1
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.
