Scores at this location

| Liveability | 87 |
Liveability is the headline: still strong as a convenient hub, even where walk is mid-range and the story leans more on the retail centre and corridor access than on a dense village strip.
What the scores suggest here
- Walk (69) — Mid-range. You can walk to a lot at the centre, but many addresses around here will still lean on a car for some everyday trips — not a walker’s paradise.
- Public transport (79) — Solid. The interchange and corridor services make buses a practical option for getting further afield.
- Cycling (77) — Decent, not exceptional. Bike access is usable, but surrounding infrastructure is not as strong as the best inner-city networks.
- Liveability (87) — Strong overall. Transit and the retail hub do more of the lifting than pure walkability alone.
