Although these settlements occupy less than one per cent of the country's total land area, they have a pervasive influence on the natural environment. The report examines Australian settlements in terms of the resources they consume, the wastes they produce and their 'livability'- a measure of social amenity, health and well-being. This 'extended metabolism' model allows settlements - whether capital cities or remote indigenous communities - to be assessed in terms of their human outcomes as well as their impact on the natural environment. Australian settlements have high livability by international standards and, in general, it is improving. However, these patterns vary considerably between and within settlements.

Home About us E.G. Whitlam Whitlam Government ... Contact us Join our email lists about our email lists Federal Responsibility for Cities by Mark Latham Sydney, 18 March 2002 In The Australian newspaper last month, Christopher Lloyd, a Professor of Economic History at the University of New England, lodged the following letter to the editor: What happens when Mark Latham's suburban strategy, and Gough Whitlam's before him, is successful and the erstwhile Labor-voting disadvantaged suburbanites achieve their aspirations, get their higher degrees and city or academic jobs, move to Bondi, become Radio National listeners, develop a conscience about asylum-seekers and Aboriginal injustice and grow to hate monarchical symbolism? (1) Professor Lloyd may know a lot about economic history but he needs to update himself on the recent history of Western Sydney. Increasingly, successful people in our region are staying in the western suburbs. They are more likely to move into new, double-storey housing estates - such as Macquarie Links, Glenwood and Glenmore Park - than move to Bondi. (2) Professor Lloyd has repeated one of the dated stereotypes about Sydney's urban geography: that the city is divided in two - the west and the rest. Even worse, he has repeated an elitist and patronising view of the suburbs: that educated people do not live there, decent jobs are located elsewhere and its residents are yet to develop a social conscience.

Font Size EPILEPSY AUSTRALIA is a nationally registered charity, whose member associations work togetherto achieve the best possible outcomes for all Australians living with epilepsy and to support the Australian community in making enlightened and fully informed responses to epilepsy. Each Australian state or territory has its own community based epilepsy association . . . set up by people who have experienced the reality of living with epilepsy in that state or territory. They have operated in each case for many years as the local state or territory epilepsy association. Over that time each has built a wide network through which they are able to help and support individuals and families living with epilepsy. Our NSW office is the only one that is not run in this way. There is a state epilepsy association in NSW but they have chosen for their own reasons to remain outside the national coalition of epilepsy associations. Each epilepsy association is run by a Management Committee elected by the people of their own state or territory - which is a key factor in ensuring that they are able to make sense of health and human services and other community policies of their own state or territory, and also ensures to some degree that they remain answerable to their local community for the scope, level and quality of the services and programs they deliver. Our peak national body Epilepsy Australia is our peak national body where we come together formally at least four times a year, and many other times through email, teleconference, and special purpose meetings, to ensure that wherever we are able to, we work to gain the synergy that can come from sharing common tasks. We share resources, publications, training opportunities, and a number of programs for people living with epilepsy - such as the EFV Accommodation Project which finds accommodation for people whose physicians have sent them to Melbourne for tests and other procedures, usually prior to brain surgery or the implantation of a vagal nerve stimulator. As we have developed our training and education programs we have done so against the Australian Quality Framework and the certification requirements of the Australian national Training Authority.

New town From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Planned cities For the place, see New Town A New town or planned community or planned city is a city town , or community that was designed from scratch, and grew up more or less following the plan. Many of the world's capital cities are planned cities, notably Washington, DC in the United States Abuja in Nigeria Bras­lia in Brazil Canberra and Adelaide in Australia , and New Delhi Chandigarh Fatehpur Sikri and Gandhinagar in India Isfahan in Iran and Islamabad in Pakistan . It was also common in European colonization of the Americas to build according to a plan either on fresh ground or on the ruins of earlier Amerindian cities. Contents Ancient Rome Australia Brazil Canada ... edit Ancient Rome Although Rome itself was never a planned settlement, the Romans built a large number of towns throughout their empire, often as colonies for the settlement of citizens or veterans. These were generally characterised by a grid of streets and a planned water-supply; and many modern European towns of originally Roman foundation still retain part of the original street-grid. The most impressive Roman planned town was the city of Constantinople Roman Emperor Constantine the Great chose the site for the new metropolis and began construction. His plans quickly fell into place. The modern city (known since 1930 as

Issue 14 Spring 2001 - Earthday ISSN: 1076-7975 Healthy Cities in Queensland, Australia: The Cambooya Shire Experience Daniel Gareth Charles Rainham Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, Canada An Alternative Health Perspective It would be inappropriate to discredit the advances of a social health policy and technological improvements made by a characteristically reactive health care system. In Australia, as in many industrialized nations, the costs to support primary care are tremendous. Fraught with inefficiency, it has been noted that further spending to improve such an approach would only yield increased health benefits to a few (Frank, 1995). Distinct factors, other than the health care system, have been identified as influential on a population’s health status and many researchers have advocated their incorporation into public health approaches. Getting Started in Cambooya Shire One area of particular concern is health. Cambooya Shire residents do not have local access to many health-related services, such as a medical practitioner, pharmacy, aged welfare and housing, facilities for youth, and health promotion to maintain public health awareness and information access. These community health service deficiencies have been confirmed by Queensland Health (a state government agency) who admit that insufficient progress has been made to improve the accessibility to health services in rural Queensland and that policies to address equity issues have been lacking due to social, cultural, and economic barriers (Queensland Health Council, 1991). Shire residents have also identified concerns about public transport for youth and the elderly, and inadequate communication between citizens among neighboring towns.

The Virtual Jewish History Tour Australia By David Shyovitz The Community's Origins Early Jewish Life The Community Grows Post-War Developments ... Sights and Culture The Community's Origins The York Street synagogue, used in Sydney between 1844 and 1877. Among the 1,500 prisoners who initially arrived in Australia where 16 Jews; by 1817, more had arrived, and enough had been freed to form an organized minyan and burial society. As their numbers swelled, primarily due to immigration from England and Germany kehillahs (organized communities) sprang up in the cities of Sydney (1831) and Melbourne (1841), which were to become the two centers of Jewish life. The Sydney kehilla was founded by Joseph Barrow Montefiore, a cousin of Sir Moses Montefiore Sydney's Great Synagogue, consecrated in 1878. The Sydney congregation worshiped in houses and shops until 1844, when the growing community built the first synagogue in Australia. It was soon followed by synagogues in Hobart (1845), Launceston (1846), Melbourne (1847), and Adelaide (1850).

72. Adult Learning Australia - Learning Communities: Background Paper In Australia the learning community movement is growing rapidly. Twentysix cities, towns or communities are now members of ALCN. http://www.ala.asn.au/docs/lc_background.html

about us events publications links ... feedback Learning communities: background paper Introduction A learning community is an organic concept. There is no one model that can be imposed on a group of people. Each community will develop its own modus operandi, depending on the problems it is seeking to solve, the human and other resources available to it and specific local circumstances. What is common to learning communities, branded as such or not, is the pivotal role of learning-in both its formal educational settings and in less structured forms-to creating and sustaining viable economic activity and social cohesion. In Australia the learning community movement is growing rapidly. At last count, we had thirty eight (38) geographical areas who have identified themselves as learning communities and countless other interest-based communities. Each may think of themselves in a different way but for the purposes of definition we have distilled four core functions of learning in a community: To develop skills In this context, the skills to be developed range from basic literacy and numeracy to those required to adjust to new employment opportunities (e.g. IT skills) to those needed to cope better with life (e.g. environmental knowledge; fitness). In addition the learning community can assist in building community capacity to find solutions to problems and challenges.

SUSTAINABILITY: AN INTRODUCTION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES STUDENTS UNIT 5: SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND CAMPUS COMMUNITIES TRANSPORTATION: A SYSTEMIC SOLUTION Community design is inextricably linked with our transportation systems. Providing a transportation system that is versatile and viable and sustainable on a long-term basis is of critical concern in many modern cities. Transportation is a multi-faceted issue, encompassing environmental, economic, and social equity aspects of sustainability. All states and cities rely on federal funds to maintain their transportation systems. From the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, until after the 1990 Clean Air Act, federal transportation funds were directed only at highways and related infrastructure supporting auto and truck use. This bias in funding made it more difficult to provide alternative local or regional transportation. Along with the general trends in community development patterns described above, these funding limitations influenced the transportation options available to citizens. The transportation and development trends of the second half of the twentieth century have altered our landscapes and the basic nature of our neighborhoods and cities. In most cities in the developed world, cars now reign supreme as the dominant mode of transportation. Even people who choose not to use a car are affected by the car culture, sheer number of cars, and community design patterns favoring cars.
