Neighbourhood Walkability Checklist
The checklist is a national consumer advocacy tool that asks community residents to be the ‘eyes and feet’ of their Local Government council to provide feedback on the ‘walkability’ of their local neighbourhoods.  The Heart Foundation thinks local residents often know and understand their neighbourhoods as well as anyone else and their feedback can assist planners and other relevant professionals in local government to identify features that either support or discourage residents from walking for transport or recreation.
