The score

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

The walkability score is 0.0, which means the area is car-dependent. This is far below the Queensland figure of 5.0, and no homes here have a 15-minute-city walkshed.

0.0

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.

0.0

Lower than 99% of urban centre areas.

How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.

0.0%

Lower than 99% of urban centre areas.

Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.

What's in walking distance

How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

Every home in the area is more than 30 minutes away from the nearest school, park, or grocery store. This lack of access to health services and public transport is far below state levels.

Streets & terrain

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.

There are 8 intersections per square kilometre in this area. With no walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, this is far below the Queensland figure of 13.4.

0.0

Lower than 99% of urban centre areas.

Walkable amenities — shops, cafés, parks, health services, schools, cultural and community places, everyday services and public-transport stops — per 1,000 residents. Measures how much is around, apart from how far it is to walk there.

8.1%

Higher than 85% 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.
