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.

What's New About AIFS Search Media ... Links This article has been reproduced from FAMILY MATTERS no.30 December 1991, pp.12-13 'There's no work here, eh': The future of small Australian towns Christine Kilmartin That employment is a major issue, and will remain so throughout the nineties, is nowhere more obvious than in rural and remote communities like Tennant Creek, in the middle of the Northern Territory. In the local idiom, the situation can be summed up simply: 'There's no work here, eh.' Here, where the Institute has begun interviewing for the Australian Living Standards Study, the community has lost ground during the eighties, despite all its efforts and plans. Of course, there is work in town, but not nearly as much as would be needed to hold the line, let alone offer increased opportunities. The town's ambition to double its population by the end of the decade has faded to the reality of a town shrinking in size, due mainly to the drying up of traditional sources of work, particularly in the mining industry. Townspeople estimate that the population has dropped from 3500 in 1986 to something less than 3000. As a small town distant from a major population centre, Tennant Creek is not alone in its difficulties; such towns are under increasing threat from the need of governments and private enterprises to constrain their spending in areas of health, education, employment support and general service administration. The threatened withdrawal of such services recently provoked a 24-hour general strike in Broken Hill a signal that small towns are not about to simply lie down and die.

Urban Heritage: the rise and postwar development of Australia's capital city centres Contents Previous Next Contextual History: Part two The city centres since World War Two Conclusion Despite intense pressures from State and capital to redefine city centres in terms of a single use office space they retain, and should retain, a complex of uses and an overlapping set of economic, political and cultural spaces. The concept of overlapping spatial arrangements ties together many of the themes listed separately above and links the centre's history to its heritage. Not listed because they are all-encompassing are those other major themes of the city centre: spatial and historical change in central city function, within a context of local, national and global political-economic restructuring. The diversity of use in city centres overall does not obscure their internal division into distinct precincts: every suburban shopper knows to head for Rundle Mall in Adelaide or Queen Street Mall in Brisbane. One important aspect of central areas is the physical structures, landuses and cultural activities carried over from earlier times. Residential occupation of 'CBDs' is a good example. This aspect of modern city centres is important not simply to historians but has been demonstrated by popular choice and government and business response to be of real significance. Such historical aspects of urban morphology are termed path dependency by economic historians.

WSWS Anti-war protests in Australian cities By James Conachy 20 October 2001 Use this version to print Send this link by email Email the author Anti-war protests took place in a number of Australian cities last weekend reflecting concerns among wider layers of the population about the implications of the US bombardment of Afghanistan and Australian support for it. The largest protest took place in Sydney on October 13, when around 3,000 people marched from the Town Hall through the centre of the city to Martin Place, where speakers addressed the crowd. The protests last weekend followed several on October 9, when hundreds of people assembled in Sydney, Melbourne and other cities immediately after the commencement of US strikes. Earlier, on October 6, more than 2,500 people marched in Brisbane. Originally planned as an anti-globalisation rally at the British Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), the Brisbane protest was transformed in a demonstration against the looming attack on Afghanistan. CHOGM was postponed after a number of government leaders, including the British and Indian prime ministers, announced it was unlikely they would attend.

Whichever it is, the phenomenon is real – parts of regional Australia are experiencing more rapid growth than the cities. A report released by the Federal Government today shows that many coastal areas and regional cities are dynamic and diverse with unemployment falling and the prospects of those who live there looking up.

The Australian Conservation Foundation W hat is a livable city? What is a sustainable city? L ivability, like sustainability, are concepts that potentially can mean all things to all people. Numerous international and national forums have spent countless hours detailing the principals of sustainability and how sustainable development can practically be achieved. I ndeed, ACF spent almost two years contributing to the development of a National Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Development . That strategy has now sunk almost without trace. One reason for this I believe has been lack of political commitment. Another equally important one, is that the concept of Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) has never been properly communicated to the community. This has allowed decision makers to either ignore it or corrupt it. Thus ecological sustainability has become sustainable growth. T here is a generally accepted definition of ESD though. This is; development in a manner which ensures that the economic, social, and spiritual needs of present and future generations are met without disrupting the essential ecological processes and systems upon which life depends. I suggest that the concept of sustainability, or more particularly ESD, is, if not one and the same as livability, then certainly they are very closely linked. Both concepts are essentially about looking at the current and long term well being of society and the planet. And both concepts are essentially about ensuring that environmental and social objections are give equal weight to short term economic objections in decision making.
