Ask a local about Silverwater and they will tell you it’s a virtually undiscovered residential suburb close to anything and everything a person could need or want. Most people think Silverwater is mostly a commercial area, but it’s not. The commercial areas are scattered across the suburb amongst the housings and dwellings in local neighbourhoods. It’s home to several small to medium sized businesses from warehouses and manufacturers to boutique stores and services. There are some large companies that make Silverwater home, but this Sydney suburb has become more residential over the past few years and more developments are in the making. Besides all the convenience of Silverwater, it features some great parks and
If you’ve never been to Wollstonecraft NSW, you are missing out on one of the best suburbs in Sydney. It’s a beautiful, nice and quiet suburb located next to the busier suburb of Crow’s Nest, but not so close to get caught up in that hectic lifestyle. Wollstonecraft has several properties that offer magnificent water views and the train and bus transport systems run on a frequent and convenient schedule. Unlike some North Sydney suburbs, this one offers ample parking. The combination of amenities and the lifestyle make Wollstonecraft high in demand, which makes it a bit more expensive than some of its surrounding suburbs. The locals who live here like it just the way it is.
Liveability is the sum of factors that work together to form the general quality of life experienced by a region’s residents and others. Holly Smith, the author of Australia’s Brisbane and Queensland, said that, “Brisbane is a perfectly modern city today, with glittering high rise buildings and an abundance of green parks, a surrounding of hilly suburbs and a wealth of adventure opportunities.” The goal of this presentation is to examine these factors through the research into the liveability of Brisbane suburbs Camp Hill And Everton Park. Within in each element, two to three measures were selected and investigated, which helped form the overall picture of the suburb’s
Prior to urban renewal, Pyrmont-Ultimo had residents with similar incomes. However to achieve the goal of social equity plans were made for a mixed, high-density, medium-rise residential area. Approximately 7500 new dwellings have been constructed plus the renovation of 1400 existing dwellings. The aim was to cater for all household types such as families, couples and singles, provide affordable housing for middle to low income earners, provide residential dwellings with waterfront access and with water and city views, protect existing housing, retain a socially diverse residential population which includes all income groups, provide opportunities to live close to places of work and to create a high quality urban environment. The provision of affordable or public housing was an important aspect to consider in the process. Without some sort of intervention to provide this affordable housing, the attractiveness of living close to Sydney’s CBD would only be reserved for high income earners as dwellings would be too expensive and rent would be too high. From a social equity point of view it was therefore vital to provide
Sydney, centrally located on the eastern coast, is Australia’s largest and most influential city. Its multicultural nature, advanced infrastructure, state of the art technologies, scale of foreign investment and architectural ingenuity not only make for a highly desired international tourist destination but are all compelling evidence to suggest that Sydney is in fact an established city of the developed world. As in any developed city, there are a myriad of urban dynamics of change at work that have, and will continue to evolve the morphology of the Australian metropolis.

Affordability is one of the many attractive features of Tempe, a popular Sydney suburb. The houses are said to be larger than average and range from between $50,000 and $100,000 less than its surrounding suburbs of Marrickville and Newtown even though it’s only about five minutes from them.

In conclusion, the Pilbara region itself is not bad and will get better by fixing the future threats and protect flora and fauna from extinction, more building industries, making the towns and cities more popular and getting more tourists there and discovering more stromatolites
Evaluation: Caboolture West. There are two proposals for this area. The first proposal was presented to us by Sunshine Property Developers. They propose to fit the area for 20,000 people. Low to medium level housing, making roads bigger to fit more cars, adding buses to encourage public transport, larger park spaces and personal backyards, 15 small local shops and parkways and bikeways are all listed as important parts of the proposal. No extra facilities will be needed, current ones will be up to date. The second proposal was presented to us by Mc Keown Property Developers. They propose to have high density housing, new trains and station, green corridors and parklands, a town centre with 100 new facilities, a new hospital and school and
Negative impact 1: Since the project was announced, there have been many different opinions about whether or not Elizabeth Quay is a good idea. In July of 2012, it was found that 41% of the population of Perth was for Elizabeth Quay, while 36% did not think it was a good idea. Interestingly, it was found that liberal and green supporters were more in favour of the project than labor supporters. Many of those not in favour of the project believe that it does little for Australian heritage and that it isn’t worth the disruption of traffic that would be caused by the closing of Riverside drive during the building period. It is also thought that many people in Perth are in fear of change; that they want it to stay the same sleepy town that it had been in the past. But in opposition to this, supporters of the project have rightly stated that Perth is the fastest growing city in Australia, and change is inevitable to support all the requirements of a large population.
Located north of Sydney, in the state of Queensland, the urban population of Brisbane was 1.1 million with a population density of 1200 persons/km2 (Table 3). Given the significant decrease in population, Brisbane was categorised as a low density, medium population city. Similar to Sydney, the large urban sprawl of Greater Brisbane was limited to the inner city and the north, east and south residential areas. Hence, as depicted in Figure 4, outer lying towns including Ipswich were excluded from the study. The corresponding weather stations were ideally located, with two stations residing in central Brisbane and Brisbane Airport. Although weather stations in airports are usually categorised as rural, the growth infrastructure around the area

There has been an increasing spatial segregation of rich and poor residents in the Australian cities. The social process generates household actions at the neighbourhood level. This has addressed issues to residents who are living in poor neighbourhoods or suburbs. Residential areas are considered as resulting from individuals’ desires, interests, viewpoints and opportunities. Hence, the purpose of this essay will discover how the separation of the poor and rich residential areas affects the residents living in Australian cities. The essay will also point out how governments should integrate the rich and poor together into a residential area. The response of difference in suburbs requires development
According to Stanhope and Lancaster (2008) defines a community as: “A social group determined by geographic boundaries and/or common values and interests. Its members know and interact with one another. It functions within a particular social structure and exhibits and creates norms, values, and social institutions” (World Health Organization [WHO], 1974, pg. 7).
