This is Who We are and What We Love

It’s easy to love living in the Hills and Hawkesbury region and it’s great to work here.

COVID-19 restrictions have kept us all closer to home than ever before so we have all become better at exploring where we live and appreciating what we have around us. Walking has become a huge part of Lockdown, picnics are popular and creativity has been hard at work with colourful spoon families, painted rocks and pavement art appearing everywhere.

We would love to hear from you about what you love about living in the area please email us at [email protected].

The Hills to Hawkesbury team jotted down what they love best. Some were based on pre-Lockdown memories!

“There is beautiful scenery here and bushwalks with some amazing fauna and flora. There are also high-quality schools, both public and private, great childcare options and lots of after-school activities, creative and sporty. It’s a great place to live.” ~Diana Paton

“I love how many great parks and walks there are in the area and I am spoiled for choice when it comes to finding good coffee and great food venues from Richmond to Winston Hills and all suburbs in between.” ~Bev Jordan

“This is such a great area for kids to grow up in. It has good schools, great parks and dog parks (for those of us with four-legged friends) plus lots of bushlands. I also love the shops and finding new outlets!” ~Karen Taylor

“The sense of community, the love of sport, animals and the history that is around are hard to match and the dedicated volunteers who take pride in keeping the area cleaner, safer and enjoyable for all are standouts for me.” ~Lawrence Machado

“I love the scenic beauty of the Hawkesbury, the semi-rural and family-friendly areas of the Hills and the history of the Hills and Hawkesbury region. I am proud that I have been part of this great community for almost 40 years.” ~Ivor Jones
