“Do you love where you live?�

Conjuring city pride through landscape design Sarah Chalkley

Why do you love where you live ?

Is it the people – family, friends, sense of community?

Is it the neighbourhood – shops, school, environment?

Is it the local parks, street appeal, local activities?

Is it the way you get around? Do you walk or ride?

Is it your lifestyle?

Is it the beach?

Is it the bush?

Is it the landscape?

Is it the weather?

Is it the facilities?

Is it the sense of community?
