Thank you for sharing your favourite Carlton places. We had 59 people nominate places within the Carlton study area and explain why they are important to them. There were six outside the study area.

The information you gave us will contribute to a review of Carlton’s heritage and help us understand the qualities of the area the local community wishes to keep. Nominated places are scattered evenly across the study area with clusters at:

• Kathleen Syme Library and Community Centre
• Carlton Baths
• Lygon Street
• Drummond Street
• Argyle Square

You can explore these stories through the interactive map.

Community members also joined us for a drop in at the Kathleen Syme Library and Community Centre in October. We met with members of the Carlton Community History Group and Carlton Residents Association who shared valuable information about important places in Carlton.

From the information received, it is clear that the local community loves Carlton for many reasons, including:

• open spaces
• community meeting places
• heritage buildings and places of architectural beauty
• iconic landmarks
• places that invoke special memories and a sense of belonging

There will be further opportunities to get involved in early 2019.
