LeafRouteEvery walk instead of a drive
is climate action.
LeafRoute makes walking around Melbourne the easy choice. It cuts the emissions a car trip would've cost, and routes you through shade and cooler streets so rising temperatures don't make that choice any harder than it has to be.
Under tree canopy for 80% of the walk, quieter side streets.
Built for a warming city.
Melbourne is already seeing more extreme heat days, and on those days the shortest path is often the wrong one. LeafRoute weighs real, live conditions instead of just distance, so walking stays a genuine alternative to driving even as it gets hotter.
Adapts to real heat, live
When it's genuinely hot out, LeafRoute leans harder into shade using real tree canopy data, rather than a fixed rule that ignores the forecast.
Reads the crowd
Live pedestrian sensor data can steer you around streets that are busy right now, not just around distance.
Quieter, safer streets
Tell it to weight traffic lower whenever you'd rather not walk beside six lanes of it.
How it works
Search where you're headed
Type a street, building, or place anywhere in Melbourne and get real addresses back, not guesswork.
Compare the trade-off
See a handful of honest options, from fastest to shadiest to quietest, along with exactly what each one costs you in minutes.
Walk it, track it
Start walking with one tap, and your history and estimated avoided emissions build up automatically as you go.
