Mirriwinni · 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 gentle terrain slope of 3.0% makes Mirriwinni (L) slightly flatter than the Queensland average, yet the area remains car-dependent. While almost every home is within a 15-minute walk of a school, most daily needs require a vehicle as other amenities are far away.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score is 1.6, which means the area is car-dependent and far below the Queensland figure of 5.0. No homes here have a 15-minute-city walkshed, a result far below the state average of 59.1%.
1.6
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.
2.0
Lower than 82% 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.
How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.
Access is very uneven; 99.2% of homes can walk to a school within 15 minutes, but no homes are within a 15-minute walk of parks, groceries, health services, or public transport. This means that while some can reach food and drink in five minutes, everyone is more than 30 minutes away from the nearest health clinic or park.

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.
