WA Australian Capital Territory Havelock House Havelock House will run household energy efficiency workshops with their housing tenants, highlighting ways that they can reduce their electricity, gas and water usage. Tenants will also be given retrofit kits and an offer for the free installation of a water efficient showerhead. Project partners include the Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services. Through Cool Communities Havelock House tenants will be able to develop their understanding of environmental issues and work towards the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, while improving the comfort and running costs of their households. WEST - Water and Energy Saving Trial The Consumer Law Centre, Essential Services Consumer Council, Environment ACT and ActewAGL worked together to conduct a pilot phase of the Water and Energy Saving Trial (WEST) project in 2003. With additional funding from Cool Communities the project can now be expanded to involve 40 households. WEST will engage a professional auditor to conduct household energy audits with households selected by the Essential Services Consumer Council from among its client group of highly disadvantage low-income households.

Western Australia Home Western Australia health resources Overview Hospitals and health services Remote areas Divisions of General Practice Western Australia health resources Overview Hospitals and health services Remote areas Divisions of General Practice Overview Western Australia covers approximately one-third of the Australian continent, but has less than one-tenth of the nation's population. Two-thirds of its people live in the metropolitan centres of Perth and Fremantle. In line with the major Australian cities, these urban populations suffer high rates of preventable diseases due to obesity, smoking and poor diet. Cardiovascular disease and cancer are the major causes of death. Asthma, arthritis and diabetes are major causes of illness. In remote areas such as the Pilbara in the state's north-west, Aboriginal communities have much lower life expectancy that the rest of the state, with higher rates of diabetes, kidney disease, sexually transmitted diseases, and drug and alcohol abuse. Aboriginal communities have an infant mortality 10 times higher than those among the non-Indigenous population.

Home What's New About us People ... EcoCity 2 Urban Ecology Australia EcoCity 2 Conference - Adelaide, April 1992 SUSTAINABLE CITIES: INTERNATIONAL AND AUSTRALIAN PROGRESS: A PERSPECTIVE BASED ON REDUCING AUTOMOBILE DEPENDANCE Peter Newman Associate Professor in Environmental Science; Director, Institute for Science and Technology Policy The role of reduced automobile dependence in contributing to a more sustainable city is reviewed. Based on threee central concepts of enhanced rail-based transit, traffic calming and urban villages, the review outlines progress in each area. Particular mention is made of how Australian cities are managing. There is now awareness virtually everywhere of the need to constrain automobile usage and that it is inherently unsustainable to have urban development strategies based on continuous growth in the use of cars. This change has come about mainly from the demands of community groups rather than professionals in planning and transport. The present stage is predominantly the development of demonstration projects (such as Better Cities in Australia), where there is a continuing role for community groups to ensure the concepts are not watered down. Such changes however will remain largely symbolic unless there is institutional reform in the way that the land use and transport system is managed in car-based cities.

Recalling and celebrating the impact of trams on the social, economic and cultural shape of many Australian cities. Who will use the tram line? Trams will serve the more than two million visitors who travel to Canberra each year. The line will provide regular trips at least every 15 minutes and an all day travel pass for about $11. Accessing the trams will be easy for tourists, with tickets packaged as part of holiday deals and on sale through accommodation venues, attractions and other tourist outlets. A restaurant tram will add colour and culture to the city and be a highlight for visitors and locals.

Where will we live? Wherever you choose to live in Australia, you will find the right kind of community for your lifestyle. Every city and large town has a wide choice of suitable housing, along with excellent community services which guarantee comfortable living. Cities with populations over one million people - like Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth - present a variety of housing which will satisfy the most demanding tastes. Yet, compared to some major cities in other nations, prices in many Australian cities are relatively low given the high standard of housing available. Many quite modest Australian houses have their own swimming pool and backyard barbecues. And most suburban communities are dotted with playing fields, parks, and tennis courts.

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).

SoE Australia State of the Environment 1996: Executive Summary An Independent Report Presented to the Commonwealth Minister for the Environment by the State of the Environment Advisory Council ISBN 643 05830 3 Contents Previous Next Human settlements Cities Towns Remote settlements Management Australia is a highly urbanised nation, with about 85 per cent of its population living in towns and cities of 10 000 or more people. 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.

Elanora Heights Home Page Australia Australian Facts ... Places in New South Wales Human Society and Its Environment Program for Term 3 1998 The theme in our classroom last Term was Australia. Within that, we looked at the geography of Australia, Aboriginal Culture The name of the theme is "Co-operating Communities" and it will begin with looking at particular places in our States and Territories. The students will then narrow their area of investigation to New South Wales and look at what each region has to offer. The students will then narrow their focus once more, to look at our local community . They will design surveys, send e-mails, and collect data on our local community. This will include looking at the people who live in our community, the changes that have occurred, what the local government in our community does and how our community is similar and different from another inner city and rural community. The lessons have been designed for maximum investigation by the students and have focused on the following skills: Initiating investigations Identifying and gathering information Analysing and organising information Synthesising information using a range of media and tools to communicate Applying the information to new or different situations Planning and implementing action individually or in groups Reflecting on their learning Displaying our findings.

Home Projects Summary National Urban Indicators Aims: The primary aim is to determine whether or not Australian cities have become more polarized socially in the last decade, and how this compares with developments in kindred societies. The development of a set of small-area indicators and/or benchmarks for Australian urban communities that will measure variations through time in education, lab our market participation, occupations and income, health and safety, housing conditions, community resources, and environmental (dis)amenity and will take into account gender, age, class and cultural dimensions. The Construction of a GIS platform to be used as a tool for urban management. To reach a soundly grounded position on the nature and extent of social polarization and locational disadvantage within Australian cities. Scope and Objectives This project will develop a GIS to assess the spatial impact of structural adjustment and changing governmental regulations upon communities in Australian cities and regional centres during the 1980s. It is proposed to project the analysis to the year 2001 to coincide not only with a Census but the advance towards republicanism and what this means for citizenship in Australia. The research plan can be summarized in four stages: The selection of spatial units and urban indicators Development of a GIS The use of standard approaches to depict spatial changes using descriptive statistics. Other standard multivariate statistics will be used to classify and compare these urban "communities"
