I bumped into a friendly group of people also heading to the event When I mentioned that parkrun also welcomes walkers every Saturday they were genuinely interested and said they would consider giving it a try Buzz of excitement just before the start - runners focused and ready to take on the 5K Runners powering into their 5K journey at Cannon Hill parkrun This week’s special parkwalk promotion was a perfect reminder that parkrun has never been about speed or competition It is a standing invitation for everyone to move at their own pace One participant I interviewed shared that what they loved most about today’s event was the incredible diversity and experiences all coming together for one goal Post-event gathering at the Cannon Hill Park bandstand as finishers celebrate and reflect after crossing the line 5K Your Way group gathering at the meeting point near the bandstand celebrating movement for all abilities and supporting those affected by cancer Peaceful moments by the lake - parkrunners making their way around Cannon Hill's beautiful lake section What stood out most from our chat was how parkrun breaks down those barriers simply by existing as it is and even small moments like sharing a fist-bump at the finish line all help turn running and walking into a community experience worth being part of It is about turning movement into a celebration of resilience © parkrun Limited (Company Number: 07289574) No part of this site may be reproduced in whole or in part in any manner without the permission of the copyright owner A woman has been transported to Princess Alexandra Hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries after a vehicle struck a pedestrian at Cannon Hill this morning Please call us on 1800 070 535 and we’ll help resolve the issue or try again later Any Questions?

Brisbane’s most affordable suburbs risk being trapped by plummeting property values with rapid growth in these areas sounding the alarm for a looming market correction Exclusive data has revealed the city’s top 20 property hotspots where buyers are most at risk of overpaying including the entry-level markets of Woodridge Some popular inner-city suburbs may also be in line for price falls MORE NEWS: Bluey co-star gives up Brisbane NRL star’s renovation named the hottest home in Australia A two-bedroom unit in this Woodridge building is for sale for $375,000 which range in median from under $400,000 to just shy of $2m indicate the market is at the peak of its cycle Woodridge on Brisbane’s southern fringe ranked as most overvalued for both houses and units priced at $605,572 and $384,341 respectively attracting both owner-occupiers and investors drawn by strong rental yields but a low market cycle timing score of 13 out of 100 suggests the recent price surge could be losing momentum according to Suburb Data analyst Jeremy Sheppard while six of the top 20 suburbs were priced below $700,000 – the threshold for first-home buyer stamp duty exemption Gordon Park ($1.49m) and Cannon Hill ($1.43m) Mr Sheppard said these areas had experienced extreme growth pitting prices well above those in surrounding areas offering similar housing “No market can outperform forever,” Mr Sheppard said “It can reach a point where buyers aren’t prepared to pay the prices anymore because they have cheaper comparable options somewhere else MORE: Mansion inspired by travel and adventure CWA offloads heritage hostel to raise millions for charity Sometimes they can retract and then hit a new bottom for many years “Eventually they will become good value again buyer demand will return and prices will start to grow once more but it can take a long time until values return to that peak.” Buyers’ agent Lloyd Edge said suburbs that gained sudden popularity were at risk of being overvalued as the “FOMO factor” — fear of missing out — pushed prices up “There are some pockets of Brisbane like this No matter if the property is run down and in need of renovation they will still sell for almost as much as a new house because buyers just want to own a property in that area regardless of the quality of the asset,” Mr Edge said MORE: Aussie crypto millionaires’ secret money stash Ex-Bronco Corey Oates’ next payday He noted a domino effect as prices rose: “Investors will start spruiking about capital gains to be made and then a flood of investors enter the market” there’s no guarantee that owner-occupiers will want to buy there which can make it difficult to sell when the market corrects itself.” Ray White AKG Group CEO Avi Khan said Woodridge was one of the year’s top market performers – unit prices were up 40.5 per cent “The rapid price increases suggest Woodridge may be nearing a short-term peak continued population growth and investor demand could drive further appreciation Ongoing projects in Logan and SEQ’s expansion plans may also sustain demand,” Mr Khan said “Woodridge remains cheaper than Brisbane’s median house price but the recent growth has made it less affordable than before “If price growth outpaces wage growth and rental yields we may see a correction or a cooling period But there is still significant demand from investors and population growth that may see this suburb continue to surge.” Gailes is on the market for offers above $599,000 Mr Khan said Woodridge had benefitted from the upcycle with improved crime rates on the back of community programs and local government investment enhancing safety and liveability put the suburb within easy reach of both Brisbane and the Gold Coast McGrath agent Cayle Blaxland described Wilston as a tightly held suburb but many of the houses have an elevated aspect with city views which has positioned Wilston as the leading star compared to Windsor or Grange which don’t typically offer as much elevation,” Mr Blaxland said House prices in Wilston were up 35 per cent rover the past year it’s probably because of the emergence of sister suburbs like Windsor while stock in Wilston has been very tightly held,” he said “Coming out of a very strong couple of years of COVID growth people were happy to enjoy that ride and stay in the area for longer and that’s where homeowners have capitalised.” Mr Blaxland said the suburb attracted a high proportion of medical professionals and business owners Wilston is under contract for close to $4m with an architectural home on Edmondstone St attracting huge interest The property received three offers in two weeks and sold for close to $4m with locals and developers alike competing for these parcels These homes were fetching prices in the early $2 million range “A scarcity of stock and fewer sales might suggest the market has cooled a bit but I’ve never been in a situation where a Wilston property hasn’t performed well with plenty of inquiry and buyer interest,” Mr Blaxland said is on the market for offers over $699,000m it’s crucial to understand the risk of paying too much and the long wait for returns,” he said “You may need to create your own value on the property through renovations or development to make returns.” but Mr Edge warned of the challenge of repurchasing in the same area without overpaying you’ll hold the upper hand in negotiations while demand is high,” he said A three-bedroom home at 635 Browns Plains Rd Mr Edge advised a careful evaluation of comparable sales focusing on recent transactions in the last few weeks “There’s no value in comparing to a property sold six months ago in a fast-moving market,” he said he suggested engaging a buyer’s agent to help maintain perspective and avoid paying

Ludwick Street Designed by Elevation Architecture the proposal seeks a two (2) storey commercial building consisting of a gym on the first floor and office space on the second floor The building seeks to provide a quality architectural design to positively contribute to the streetscape providing a landscaped frontage and front building facade The land is currently being used for residential purposes which will be demolished to facilitate the redevelopment as proposed The site has the benefit of two road frontages The proposal has incorporated a combination of elements into the facade design and incorporated them into the sides of the building creating a unique building design and enhancing the streetscape appearance The Planners at Ethos Urban state “High-quality building design has been incorporated into the proposal Visual interest is generated via building articulation a mix of “soft” and “hard” materials and large sections of glazing This design is extended around the sides of the building to achieve a consistently appealing façade when viewed from all angles The entrance to the proposal is located at the ground level along Wynnum Road The facade has been designed to be visually appealing and focus of the external features to activate the frontage The entrance is clearly delineated and accessible at-grade.” The proposal provides 54 car park spaces within the

includes 31 car parking spaces (one (1) PWD) within an undercroft car park area All vehicle and pedestrian access are provided to Wynnum Road The planners at Urbis state “The development provides built form parameters established by the Multiple Dwelling Code in particular front deep planting requirements and maximum building height Through accommodating built form parameters such as these the development allows for appropriate access to natural light and breezes to existing and future adjoining developments” “The noise impacts from the proposed child care centre are mitigated through appropriate acoustic fencing Adjoining residential developments have a reduced level of environmental amenity due to their location within the Medium density zone located on an arterial road and within close proximity to a train line which accommodates freight routes” “The childcare centre incorporates large outdoor play areas which will have substantial landscaping along the side and rear boundaries These areas serve multiple purposes including deep planting softening the built form appearance and providing natural acoustic attenuation to adjoining developments” “The childcare centre incorporates both childcare rooms and the large outdoor play area to be orientated towards the road which provides activation and casual surveillance of the road in a manner which does jeopardise the safety and privacy of the children within” The proposal includes 1,008sqm of gross floor area (GFA) with 1,114.40sqm (59.34%) site cover over the 1,878sqm development site [swt-fb-likebox

A new art gallery will not be build at Cannon Hill Sudoku and TriviaAll articles from the other regional websites in your areaContinueCouncillors "misread" what Warrnambool wanted when it vote to carry out a business case on the iconic site A unanimous vote of six councillors in front of a packed gallery of more than 80 people brought the saga to an end Cr Richard Ziegeler said the vote meant the idea of an art gallery on Cannon Hill would now be "forgotten" "We won't have to worry about Cannon Hill being built on," he said Cr Ben Blain labelled doing a business case for Cannon Hill a "disappointing decision" "I believe community dissatisfaction over the location of the business case was clear very early on even before we voted," he said Cr Blain said consultation wasn't carried out well and the council "misread" what Warrnambool wanted "The report's come back and it's said what we all knew it wasn't viable to build an art gallery there," he said "I do support not pursuing Cannon Hill as a site for an art gallery I didn't support it from the start and I don't support it now." Cr Blain said he didn't agree with spending another $65,000 of ratepayers' money on a second business case after spending state government and council funds on the first - especially in the current climate of cost of living pressures His comments were met by applause from the crowd some of whom were wearing green Hands Off Cannon Hill T-shirts Cr Ziegeler said he had voted against doing a business case for an art gallery at Cannon Hill in August 2022 because he remembered the public indignation when it was suggested in 1981 a new performing arts centre should go there "I also had personal misgivings about that iconic space being ruined," he said It has confirmed to me just how iconic and just how important that particular open space is to the people of Warrnambool - as if I needed it confirmed "The opposition has been very plainly spoken." Cr Ziegeler said any idea of building an art gallery at Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum would probably also come with the same financial and geographical problems as Cannon Hill But he supported a new business case - which was needed if it wanted to get government funds for a new gallery - so the city's "priceless" works in Warrnambool's art collection could be preserved Cr Angie Paspaliaris said the business case found an art gallery at Cannon Hill was not viable with its $70 million-plus price tag "A business case has very much determined that it's not good business to build a new art gallery at Cannon Hill," she said Cr Paspaliaris said she was concerned the council had not thoroughly "picked apart the community's collective brain" about alternative sites Mayor Debbie Arnott said there was no doubt Warrnambool needed a new art gallery for its valuable collection She stressed she had supported the "business case only" for Cannon Hill as a way of looking at alternatives "It was about trying to be inspirational," she said Cr Arnott also said the council needed to have a second business case in its repertoire "Treasury will not look at anything without that second business case So this pursuit of a business case at Cannon Hill has not been in vain," she said Cr Arnott also pointed to the success of the Bendigo art gallery which brought in 223,000 visitors to the city and injected $67 million to its economy "Why can't we at Warrnambool have a slice of that?" she said "It's about trying to put Warrnambool on an international map."

refuge in the city’s public pools as the region’s brutal heatwave continues Cannon Aquatic Center in an afternoon spent with friends under the sun though: The pool was holding one of its special sensory-friendly swim events Designed for individuals with sensory sensitives – including those who are on the autism spectrum or have other forms of neurodivergence – the program seeks to create a sensory-friendly environment at the city’s pool “The program gives (sensory-sensitive kids) the ability to be like every other kid without the stigma of being looked at,” said local parent Scott Gordon The city took inspiration from similar sensitive-friendly programs at the Spokane County Interstate Fair and Flying Squirrel trampoline park the therapeutic recreation services manager with the Parks and Recreation Department loud voices and lots of movement can be uncomfortable for anyone but especially for those with sensory sensitivity “(Many families) haven’t been to a pool in years and I’ve just never acted on the idea,” she said Bush and Gordon collaborated with the city’s aquatic department to create the pilot program – four weeks the aquatics center’s pool adapted for sensory-sensitive swimmers The program is not without its complications Five to seven aquatic staff members must be on the pool deck at any time the pilot program is hosting a limited number of participants as the kids and parents alike had a “hysterically” fun time “Kids and adults with disabilities can feel overwhelmed by crowds,” he said “or just feeling out of place by the simple act of being looked at because of their disability.” He initially approached Bush with the sensory swim idea and continues to champion the program “It was very satisfying to see Chloe being able to enjoy herself (and) be in a group where she’s not stigmatized,” he said Friday was the second session of Sensory Sensitivity Swim Busch and Spokane Parks and Recreation are expanding the swim time: Seeing parents in the Friday program bring the whole family Busch “hurried” to create a companion class – a way for parents to get tickets for all their children to enjoy sensory swim Sensory Sensitivity Swim is joining an array of programs the Parks and Recreation department offers with its Therapeutic Recreation Services “This is just one great example of a variety of therapeutic recreation services programs that our city offers,” said Fianna Dickson the communication manager for the city’s Parks and Recreation Department “If open swim or Sensory Sensitivity Swim isn’t the right fit there might just be some other programs that would be the right fit.” Gordon is optimistic about the future of sensory-sensitive swimming in Spokane so would it be awesome if we could do this at more than just

(18.7m maximum building height) positioned between Ludwick Street and Creek Road The four (4) existing dwellings will be removed to facilitate the proposal and provide a pedestrian cross block that will provide access to the ground level from either Ludwick Street and Creek Road Z Architects outline that “the predominant use of glass as the building’s facade allows the natural light to brighten the spaces throughout while shading devices such as the slab extensions and vertical fins provide direct sunlight protection and privacy The various deep planting pockets on the street level and raised gardens with draping plants on the upper floors provide spaces for retreat to users within the site with hard lined building elements integrated with the soft natural vegetation for those external to the site” The planners at Town Planning Alliance  state “The proposed design incorporates a range of centre activities in a built form that is 5 storeys in height which at this height is consistent with the intent of the neighbourhood plan and zoning The proposal achieves a high-quality built form outcome that will co-exist comfortably with the existing and future uses in and around the site by providing a design that supports the residential amenity of the surrounding locality” “The proposed design dedicates a significant portion of the site to deep planting and landscaping thereby supporting an appropriate balance between the built form and landscaped open space the design adopts the use of high-quality landscaping to soften the built form and provide for a high degree of appeal” The proposal provides 82 car park spaces (4 people with disabilities) within the basement car parking areas Vehicle access is provided to Ludwick Street with a pedestrian access provided

back to them any time Residents at an east Brisbane estate have failed in their bid to have their corner of Murarrie absorbed by the neighbouring suburb of Cannon Hill But the Park Hill residents have vowed to continue their fight despite Natural Resources Minister Anthony Lynham's decision to knock back their request The Park Hill Village estate at Murarrie has failed in its attempt to become part of Cannon Hill.Credit: Google Streetview According to Fairfax Media's Domain, the median house price in Cannon Hill was $648,000 Over the border in Murarrie, the median price was $547,000 But Park Hill Action Group co-ordinator Darrell Ballard said that was not the motivating factor for those residents who wanted to be part of the Cannon Hill community "It has come into the thinking of the other side of Murarrie because if you cut some real estate figures around Park Hill inside of Murarrie you're going to find an amazing set of figures," he said "Several residents have talked about that as an issue but there's a counterbalance argument from residents with Cannon Hill now becoming apartment central and that will make the median price drop quite dramatically in the next couple of years." Mr Ballard said it was more about the geography of the area "When you look at the boundary of the Park Hill estate "There's a dog-leg around our estate which takes us into Murarrie from Cannon Hill and still to this day no-one can explain why it was done that way "And the secondary issue was the historical value – the site was known as the Cannon Hill saleyard so it was a cattle yard where they'd take the cattle across to the abattoir." Mr Ballard said he thought their argument was "pretty compelling" based on that history and they planned to launch an appeal against the decision whose office directed queries to the Department of Natural Resources and Mines a DNRM spokesman said it had received 613 submissions during the consulation period "Suburb place names and boundaries are intended to be enduring and the results of the consultation showed the proposal did not meet the criteria for altering the boundary," he said "...Although many submissions supported the proposal they did not sufficiently demonstrate compelling reasons or long term benefits of altering the boundary." Local LNP councillor Ryan Murphy (Doboy) said the Park Hill residents' wishes had been ignored, with 89.2 per cent of survey respondents in favour of the move "This is the area that was and always has been known as the Cannon Hill saleyards which was part of the abattoir complex there at Cannon Hill," he said when they bought their houses there in the early 2000s was buying into Cannon Hill and when the area was plan sealed the suburb became Murarrie so residents have been calling on the state government for years to reverse that change and give them the suburb they bought in to." Cr Murphy said it was about more than just property values for the residents people feel they're more part of the Cannon Hill community," he said "They are from the former Cannon Hill saleyards site and they live right on the Cannon Hill train station "When they say they're in Murarrie and they're in a taxi the taxi take them to Murarrie and not Cannon Hill "It's very much an issue of identity and residents of the Park Hill estate feel far more in common with Cannon Hill than they do with Murarrie." But Cr Murphy acknowledged there were differing points of view in the community "The review was not without controversy with some residents in the older part of Murarrie incensed by the idea their suburb might shrink," he said One of those who campaigned against the move was Murarrie Progress Association's Alfio Russo The DNRM spokesman said a range of factors had to be considered when deciding whether to change a suburb's name or boundaries under Queensland's Place Names Act "the value to the community and other stakeholders; the demonstrated need for the action the public good that is likely derived by it; that long term benefits outweigh any private interests and short term effects associated with the action; community views; Aboriginal tradition; commonly known names and topography" For independent news coverage, be sure to follow our Facebook feed despite Natural Resources Minister Anthony Lynham's decision to knock back their request \\\"It has come into the thinking of the other side of Murarrie you're going to find an amazing set of figures,\\\" he said \\\"Several residents have talked about that as an issue but there's a counterbalance argument from residents with Cannon Hill now becoming apartment central and that will make the median price drop quite dramatically in the next couple of years.\\\" \\\"When you look at the boundary of the Park Hill estate \\\"And the secondary issue was the historical value \\u2013 the site was known as the Cannon Hill saleyard so it was a cattle yard where they'd take the cattle across to the abattoir.\\\" Mr Ballard said he thought their argument was \\\"pretty compelling\\\" based on that history and they planned to launch an appeal against the decision \\\"Suburb place names and boundaries are intended to be enduring and the results of the consultation showed the proposal did not meet the criteria for altering the boundary,\\\" he said \\\"...Although many submissions supported the proposal they did not sufficiently demonstrate compelling reasons or long term benefits of altering the boundary.\\\" Local LNP councillor Ryan Murphy (Doboy) said the Park Hill residents' wishes had been ignored \\\"This is the area that was and always has been known as the Cannon Hill saleyards which was part of the abattoir complex there at Cannon Hill,\\\" he said the suburb became Murarrie so residents have been calling on the state government for years to reverse that change and give them the suburb they bought in to.\\\" people feel they're more part of the Cannon Hill community,\\\" he said \\\"They are from the former Cannon Hill saleyards site and they live right on the Cannon Hill train station \\\"When they say they're in Murarrie and they're in a taxi \\\"It's very much an issue of identity and residents of the Park Hill estate feel far more in common with Cannon Hill than they do with Murarrie.\\\" \\\"The review was not without controversy with some residents in the older part of Murarrie incensed by the idea their suburb might shrink,\\\" he said One of those who campaigned against the move was Murarrie Progress Association's Alfio Russo The DNRM spokesman said a range of factors had to be considered when deciding whether to change a suburb's name or boundaries under Queensland's Place Names Act \\\"the value to the community and other stakeholders; the demonstrated need for the action the public good that is likely derived by it; that long term benefits outweigh any private interests and short term effects associated with the action; community views; Aboriginal tradition; commonly known names and topography\\\" We're here for you if you want to talk Shine a light on blood cancer and join us at Walk of Light Birmingham charity walk or take on your own Walk of Light Join thousands of people across the country as we walk together on 28th March 2026 to fund vital blood cancer research We walk to shine a ray of hope for someone as they face their darkest moments We walk to light the path for a brighter future The 2025 Walk of Light event has now passed.

The Social Marketing @ Griffith trial included activation points at Cannon Hill Kmart Plaza and Logan Hyperdome Shopping Centre and a funky pop-up op-shop in converted shipping containers at Cannon Hill’s Bill Cash Memorial Park Research Fellow Dr Ville Lahtinen said “the O-it campaign aims to increase the quality of goods donated to charities so they can put more money into community services.” The shopping centre activation points saw two different tote bags given to members of the public to help sorting their donations each with entertaining descriptions of what different clothing qualities looked like for charities Staff and volunteers manning the points had conversations with shoppers around increasing the quality of donations and encouraged people to visit the pop-up shop where they could see and purchase preloved fashion Social Marketing @ Griffith Director of Engagement Dr Timo Dietrich said the tote bags were immensely popular among locals. “The bags were flying off the racks, we could barely keep up with the demand,” Dr Dietrich said. “It’s great to see because now hopefully this will help people to consider what they give to charities. “Our society is far better off having charities operating at their full capacity, rather than diverting crucial funds to cleaning up in front of their stores or at their bin donation locations.” “The pop-up store has been a great success in attracting high quality donations and we had many people visit our pop-up store to buy preloved fashion,” Dr Lahtinen added. The O-it campaign is one of several approaches being rolled out as part of a three-year field trial, testing social marketing approaches to behaviour change to address the issue, which sees organisations deluged by more than 60,000 tonnes of unusable product each year.

growth node within the strategic framework of the City Plan and the development would “appropriately respond to the prominent location of the site It deemed the proposal reflected “a highly and improved land use outcome for the subject site” “The high-quality design of the proposed development significantly contributes to the distinction of the Cannon Hill centre and will support the needs of the surrounding residential areas of Brisbane,” the report concluded Brisbane-based Anthony John Group’s development portfolio includes several other urban renewal precincts such as The Emporium at

environmental protection of several species of birds Flooding in the area of the proposed Cannon Hill golf course.Credit: Tony Moore Much of the land to be used for the proposed golf course is wetlands The site is bounded by Bulimba Creek on the eastern side and runs alongside the popular council-managed Minniki Wetlands at Tingalpa A series of creeks linked to Bulimba Creek run through the bushland and BMD proposes to build four small and medium sized dams to provide water for the golf course Council on Thursday could not immediately clarify questions from Fairfax Media about the impact of the proposed dams on the nearby Minniki Wetlands In 2007 the local community group, Minnippi Against Development, also questioned the impact of the golf course on the wetlands MAD spokeswoman Leoni Lea in 2007 said the proposal had the “potential to wreak havoc on the surrounding waterways and wetland systems.” A spokesman for Lord Mayor Graham Quirk last night said drainage issues were examined when the project received approval from the previous council in 2003 It is common for golf courses to build dams as retention basins to water fairways and greens not all golf courses are close to protected wetlands by James Warren and Associates Pty Ltd in October 2005 shows: Local councillor Ryan Murphy (Doboy) welcomed the decision for council to pay to remediate the landfill on the site which is the catalyst to start the golf course "I'm very excited that this project is teeing off after being held up for over a decade in the courts,” Cr Murphy said “This will be the first 18-hole publicly owned golf course constructed in Brisbane in over 70 years and will become council's only course south of the river,” he said “We're going to build a golf course that gives St Lucia and Victoria Park a real run for their money.” Darryl Kobb and Wendy Frankcom from Woody Avenue said local residents wanted the golf course to go ahead They said it would have a positive impact on their property values Both said their only concerns were consistent flooding in the area council allocated $5.2 million to remediate the old Cannon Hill landfill again kickstarting the controversial project

suburbs off the back of a new report released today which highlighted home safety as the highest priority for Brisbane residents The realestate.com.au and Ipsos publication Life in Australia reported perceptions of Brisbane’s liveability remain among the highest in the country with 70 per cent of respondents selecting ‘feeling safe’ RACQ spokesman Lucinda Ross said homeowners who implemented extra security measures such as ensuring good visibility from the street “These all help make your home less desirable to opportunistic thieves,” Ms Ross said There are eight postcodes within Brisbane where not one claim has been lodged for home theft vandalism and malicious damage during the past three years With less than 50 properties on the market which has a median house price of $1.135 million is the most prestigious on the list Place Paddington principal Andrew Degn, who has 10 Harding St, Auchenflower listed said people were attracted to Auchenflower because it has a “character overlay” which meant protection over the top of it because it’s low density and has less transient traffic “Everybody knows everybody and there is a neighbourhood watch,” Mr Degn said “It is very tightly held because people are very safe there and move around the family orientated suburb With a 4123 postcode, this property is ideal for the ultra security conscious, 87 Splendour St, Rochedale features a back-to-base security system Splendid security is on offer at 87 Splendour St No. 5 McKie Cres, Cannon Hill is within the 4170 postcode and comes with a home security system as well Cannon Hill is within one of RACQ’s no claim precincts Ms Ross said the low theft numbers for was great news for members in these suburbs but other insurers may have received claims from their customers “Insurance is there to protect you when the unexpected happens and we’re here for our members when they need us.” Along with home safety Brisbane residents believe affordable decent housing (60 per cent) high quality health services (59 per cent) good job prospects (43 per cent) and reliable and efficient public transport (36 per cent) complete the liveability picture
