It includes stories of individuals, families and communities living near one another and links between adjoining suburbs, regions and countries. How important were class, the economy, gender, governments, the media, race, religion and sport in the formation of ideas regarding neighbours? How have attitudes regarding a nation’s geographic neighbours determined defence, foreign, immigration, refugee and trade policies? Did new types of communication and transport from the nineteenth century onwards radically alter how neighbours and neighbourhoods were perceived? As the success of the Australian television program Neighbours shows, the theme has long been a significant component of popular culture.

  • Crows Nest Centre – Review for 2017/18 of the Joint Plan of Management
    ITEM CLS01 REPORTS 10/12/18 NORTH SYDNEY COUNCIL REPORTS Report to General Manager Attachments: 1. Review Matrix 2. CNC Annual Report 2017/18 SUBJECT: Crows Nest Centre – Review for 2017/18 of the Joint Plan of Management AUTHOR: Martin Ellis, Director Community and Library Services ENDORSED BY: Ken Gouldthorp, General Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Crows Nest Centre’s (CNC’s) Annual Report 2017/18 is presented here in fulfilment of the objectives of the Joint Plan of Management 2017-20. In the functional areas identified in the Plan it can be noted that: • Financial management: a small deficit for the year ($8,440) has been posted similar to the 2016/17 result which was $7,929. • Council’s core grant of $395,600 was complemented by State and Federal grants of $542,704. • Services are provided under the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP). The Centre is near to finalising its future in relation to the National Disability Insurance Scheme in view of the fact that little if any client engagement with the centre under NDIS is taking place. Members of the local community with disabilities continue to make use of the Centre, though not on a funded basis. • The new CHSP service types continue to be provided: Meals on Wheels and community restaurant, domestic assistance (linen service and phone/assisted shopping), social support for individuals (volunteer assisted shopping and transport, friendly home visiting) and social support groups (recreational activities such as indoor bowling, knitting, canasta, mah- jong, bus outings, healthy ageing classes, special events, socialising in the Pat Brunton Room, and Chinese seniors).

  • North Sydney Federation Walk
    NORTH SYDNEY’S HERITAGE 32 FEDERATION FACES AND PLACES IN NORTH SYDNEY: A WALKING TOUR A guided walk around the streets and laneways of North Sydney focusing on our Federation connections, including the former residences of Sir Joseph Palmer Abbott, Sir Edmund Barton and Dugald Thomson. Along the walk, view the changes in the North Sydney landscape since Federation and the turn of the 20th century. FEDERATION 1901 – BACKGROUND HIGHLIGHTS At the turn of the year 1900 to 1901 the city of Sydney went mad with joy. For a few days hope ran so high that poets and prophets declared Australia to be on the threshold of a golden age… from early morning on the first of January 1901 trams, trains and ferry boats carried thousands of people into the city for the greatest day of their history: the inauguration of the Commonwealth of Australia. It was to be a people’s festival. Manning Clark, Historian It was also a people’s movement and 1901 was the culmination of many years of discussions, community activism, heated public debates, vibrant speeches and consolidated actions. In 1890 the Australasian Federal Conference was held in Melbourne and the following year in Sydney. In 1893 a meeting of the various federation groups, including the Australian Native Association, was held at Corowa. A plan was developed for the election of delegates to a convention. In the mid to late 1890s it was very much a peoples’ movement gathering groundswell support. In 1896 a People’s Convention with 220 delegates and invited guests from all of the colonies took place at Bathurst - an important link in the Federation chain.
