1.0 INTRODUCTION Camp Hill is a medium sized, inner south Brisbane suburb which has a remarkable history that dates back before the 1860’s. This is a diverse and multi-cultural suburb, which offers children and families a wide range of public facilities, as well as superb dining experiences. With a land area of 461 hectares (5 Km2), the local residents feel right at home and free of space. In Camp Hill, most of the houses are spacious and family friendly. Several hundred of the houses in Camp Hill are heritage listed and offer a history that can date back over 100 years. You will be sure to find local events being held regularly such as school fetes and sporting matches. Camp Hill has the well-known Whites Hill Reserve, which has several sporting …show more content…
Families and couples get to experience an inner-city feeling, by only being approximately 4 kilometers from the Brisbane central business district (CBD). The benefits of being only 4 kilometers from the city are that the people around you have a vibe, there are magnificent foods from around the globe and amazing shopping centers that are just around the corner. As the sun sets and the moon rises, Camp Hill commands fine views of the CBD. The local greenery makes the air fresh and clean, perfect for younger children. Camp Hill is situated on top of a hill and neighbors Carina, Coorparoo and Norman Park. There is a wide range of both markets and shopping centers, which cater for everyone. As a Camp Hill resident, I view this inner-city suburb as something which is very rare, because there are both good dining experiences as well as new and old housing, giving families and couples a choice. As CityHobo reads “it's a quiet and safe neighborhood with happy children, good views and hilly landscapes.” This statement clearly shows Camp Hill for what it is and represents. Just imagine living in a suburb, not just any suburb one that makes your house, a …show more content…
Thou, 79.9% of the residents were born in Australia the other 20.1% weren’t. This means that the un-Australian have brought their culture into Camp Hill, giving them the chance to share traditions, foods, and religions ext, to help grow Camp Hill into a bigger and more recognized suburb. In Camp Hill the majority of dwellers are young and doing so this means that there’s not many old age homes. From the ages 35 to 39 there are around 1,041 residents, whilst for example the 85 years and over age group only has 217 people. As you can see here the majority of residents aren’t older people and this means that there are more businesses and work opportunities available. The public housing which is available at Camp Hill is very low. This is because Camp Hill is a wealthy suburb and this can be seen because the median household income ($/weekly) is 1,926. This data represents the high household income which residents get. So many of the households have Professionals (around 1,886 people), resulting in a higher income. The educational levels in Camp Hill are astonishing due to the fact that there’s a large mix of both public and private primary and secondary schools. As the 2011 census of data shows 583 children go to a primary government school, while only just over 100 go to a private school. This means that the education must be quite high due to families
Baulkham Hills, located approximately 29km North West of Sydney, is one of the largest suburbs in area and population within the Hills with a population of 33,661 people (Census 2001). Baulkham Hills as a suburb not including Bella Vista makes up about 24% of the total population (139,404) of the Baulkham Hills Shire. 23,282 people were born in Australia and 25,855 speak English only. 30,179 live in separated houses as opposed to other forms such as flats, units or townhouses. (Census 2001)
This seems fairly normal and you might think I’m describing a housing development or something like that. The only problem is that those houses are not as they appear, they are actually tents and they are being inhabited by the poverty-stricken population of your city. These “tent cities” have popped up all over the United States. Many different people live there, and have all lost their homes in some way or another. If Yakima can break down these barriers of poverty, we will never become one of these “tent cities”.
A. Define the Problem Natureview Farm, Inc. (Natureview), a small yogurt company founded in 1989, produces and markets yogurt using natural ingredients and a distinct manufacturing method that yields a smooth, creamy texture without adding artificial thickeners. As a result of this emphasis on natural ingredients, the brand has established a reputation for high quality, great tasting yogurt and is the leading natural foods brand of refrigerated yogurt. Natureview’s yogurts – available in twelve flavors in 8-ounce cups, four flavors in 32-ounce cups, and multi-pack yogurt products – are distributed nationally and the company shares leadership in the natural food channel. In 1999, the company’s revenues grew from $100,000 to $13 million; however, despite Natureview’s success and well-established brand, the company has long battled to preserve a steady level of profitability. In 1996, Jim Wagner was hired as chief financial officer and was able to successfully achieve steady profitability for the company.
Urban renewal has changed the social structure of Pyrmont significantly. In the early 20th century, there was a major decline in Pyrmont’s population and economic activity because of the urban decay and decentralisation that occurred across Sydney. This saw a spreading of activities, specifically manufacturing and industrial activities from out of inner-city areas into Sydney’s outer suburbs. Urban renewal was the key factor in restoring Pyrmont’s population. Pyrmont changed massively through the urban dynamic of urban renewal. These changes included 33 hectares of open space for the public, a mix of innovative housing and a vast range of community facilities. Being close to the city, Pyrmont has attracted mainly young, wealthy couples or otherwise known as DINKS (Double Income No Kids). 62.7% of Pyrmont’s residents are aged between 25 and 54. This is an increase of 6% from 1991. The young wealthy couples that live in Pyrmont usually earn about 37% more than the average people living in metropolitan areas, with an average income of $905 per week (2006). Nowadays, Pyrmont’s social structure differs considerably with Pyrmont’s early 20th century social structure. This is a direct effect of the urban renewal that occurred throughout the suburb. Pyrmont’s social component changed with its urban
The actions of the State and Federal Government(s) have being questionable over the centuries since the ‘colonization’ of Australia, but as Australia becomes more of a multicultural and multi-racial society Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people acceptance is rising. The disadvantages Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people face is decreasing slowly by the government as introduce legislation and form commissions. There will always be problems for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in relation to housing, but the Australia is heading in the right direction to correct this problem and provide a much better future for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the whole of Australia.
The refusal to embrace development and live out of their reserves has seen most aboriginal people living in low employment areas (Wilson and Macdonald, 2000). Most children live with their parents in the rural areas. These parents may be illiterates and they lack to see the need for formal education for their young ones. Without education, it is difficult to find sensible employment, this again contributing to the low income of the aboriginal people. Children who make it to school end up dropping out before they attain a high school diploma. The number of people from Aboriginal communities without high school diplomas is twice as much in comparison with the non-aboriginals (Wilson and Macdonald, 2000).
Garrett Hardin, an American ecologist, warned of the dangers of overpopulation. In Hardin’s best-known works, “The tragedy of the Commons” and “Lifeboat Ethics,” he talks about the importance of sustainability and requiring everyone to take action. Hardin stresses the importance of evaluating our environment to maintain a high quality of life without sacrificing future generations ability to do the same. Sustainability is having a healthy balance between economic, social, and ecological issues. In my essay, I will expand on these issues and how they are addressed in Hardin’s writings.
Marginalized populations of Camillus House are the unemployed, uninsured, mental health, homeless, undocumented, jail diversion personnel and human traffic individuals. The impact that currently affecting the Day center at the Camillus House is the lack of affordable housing, which is creating a hardship for low-income households. Most of the homeless population that come there is made up of families who work, but do not earn enough to pay for their rent or individuals with income lower than $800.00 per month.
The 1965 freedom ride was a turning point for indigenous Australians and Australia as a society. The freedom ride changed views, broke barriers and improved Australia’s understanding of discrimination and racism. Inspired by the freedom rides that took place in America in 1961, Charles Perkins and a group of students from the University of Sydney formed a group called Student Action for Aborigines (SAFA) who’s sole purpose was to draw attention to the blatant racism in Australia that often went unnoticed by the public. They also went about attempting to uncover the dismal state of Aboriginal housing, health and education. The riders conducted surveys on Aboriginal living conditions, protested and refused to leave cities until adequate changes had been made to the way the Aboriginal people were treated. Charles Perkins and 30 other students travelled to Walgett, Moree, Kempsey, and other towns, aiming to expose the unconcealed discrimination towards Aboriginals that occurred in swimming pools,
Inner City Communities are often areas which are both densely populated and deteriorating(quote). The areas and its residents have strongly been correlated with social and economical disparity. Residents of inner city communities have been plagued with problems including: “high unemployment, poor health care, inadequate educational opportunities, dilapidated housing, high infant mortality, and extreme poverty” (Attitudes and Perceptions, n.d). Though the inner city communities have been stricken with
Throughout Australia’s history, international migrants have made vital contributions to Australian regional areas through trends of; population growth, revitalising local communities, helping to fill workforce shortages and by creating new jobs (through the increased demand in services). Currently regional areas face a range of challenges including; ageing populations, population decline and skills shortages. However, regional Australia is also presented with some major opportunities including; an increased demand of exports due to booming International economies (particularly south-east Asia and China), rapidly-evolving technologies, energy, telecommunications, water and transport opportunities for our regions, growth of towns (particularly
Immigration is an important feature of Australian society. Since 1945, over six million people from 200 countries have come to Australia as new settlers. Migrants have made a major contribution to shaping modern Australia. People born overseas make up almost one quarter of the total population. About its ethics distribution, aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people totaled 410 003 at the last census, nearly 2.2 per cent of the population. Two thirds of the indigenous people live in towns and cities. Many others live in rural and remote areas, and some still have a broadly traditional way of life.(Ning)
Hello. I’m here to talk to you about sustainability in Ferny Grove and whether or not it’s a sustainable community.
There are about twenty lots in our neighborhood; all consist of close to three and a half acres. Most of the lots have houses now, all of them are big and well kept; a perfect place to raise an upper-middle class family. Just outside of Richmond, the Boscobel neighborhood gives individuals a constant taste of the southern country air, a place to grow a garden, to sit out on the porch at night and look at the stars.… The neighbors are kind as they greet one another in passing. Families come together for picnics and cook-outs and mothers go on walks together with their dogs while the kids are in school. The kids of the neighborhood love to play by the creek in the back yard. They build forts and huts, find pretend food and crayfish in the creek, and play hide-and-seek in the woods beyond the creek. It is the peaceful, everyday life in the Boscobel neighborhood.
Poor living conditions are a major health determinant throughout the indigenous population. Most Indigenous Australians are known to live in rural parts of Australia which are commonly not close to major cities and services. People living in these areas generally have poorer health than others living in the cities and other parts of Australia. These individuals do not have as much access to health services and good quality housing. In 2006 roughly 14% of indigenous households in Australia were overcrowded unlike 5% of other households (AIHW, 2009a). Overcrowded and poor quality houses are commonly associated with poor physical and mental health between the people living in them. The indigenous are n...
