The Key to a Better City THE KEY TO A BETTER CITY “It is time to ensure that Darwin has all the essential ingredients of a great city – and a plan to deliver for them” A MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Darwin is currently facing significant economic challenges following the wind-down of the Ichthys Inpex construction phase and the decline of the mining sector. CBD office vacancies have risen once again and have been the highest in the nation with the lowest demand for three consecutive years. City retailers face stiff competition from expanding “This is a thought suburban centres, and the growth in the CBD residential population is slowing. piece presenting However, it is in such times where the opportunities and ideas rather than drive for change can be the greatest. fixed solutions. This thought piece sets out initiatives to help overcome economic challenges and trigger renewed focus on There is no silver Darwin CBD as the hub for economic growth in the NT. bullet.” The Property Council of Australia is committed to driving discussion on a range of matters to ensure the CBD is thriving for the benefit of its residents, visitors, traders and property owners. This thought piece presents ideas rather than fixed solutions. There is no silver bullet. What is clear is that a unified vision and approach is essential if we are to position the city for its future. Darwin is at a crossroads. After a historic residential, commercial, retail and industrial construction boom, our city is under pressure. Despite a rush of major projects and development, there is an overwhelming sense that there is something of a vacuum, with no clear vision or focus on how the city should move forward. Darwin City is the heartbeat of the Territory. It is the engine room that needs to fire on all cylinders. We can make this happen with the right policy and regulatory changes.

All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled ‘On the edge of Asia’: Australian Grand Strategy and the English-Speaking Alliance, 1967-1980 by LAURA M. SEDDELMEYER has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Peter John Brobst Associate Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT SEDDELMEYER, LAURA M., Ph.D., August 2014, History 'On the edge of Asia': Australian Grand Strategy and the English-Speaking Alliance, 1967-1980 Director of Dissertation: Peter John Brobst This dissertation examines the importance of geopolitics in developing an Australian strategy during a transitional, but critical, period in Australian history, and it questions what effect the changing global environment had on the informal English- speaking alliance during the late Cold War. During the late 1960s, the effects of British decolonization, Southeast Asian nationalism, and American foreign policy changes created a situation on Australia’s doorstep, which the government in Canberra could not ignore. After World War II, strategic planning in Canberra emphasized the importance of British and American presence in the Asia-Pacific region to ensure Australian security. The postwar economic challenges facing Great Britain contributed to the decision in July 1967 to withdraw forces from ‘east of Suez’ by the mid-1970s.

  • The Orange-Footed Scrubfowl Megapodius Reinwardt As an Urban Bird in Darwin, Northern Territory
    48 AUSTRALIAN FIELD ORNITHOLOGY 2005, 22, 48- 50 The Orange-footed Scrubfowl Megapodius reinwardt as an Urban Bird in Darwin, Northern Territory DONALD C. FRANKLIN and BRYAN BAKER Northern Territory Field Naturalists Club Inc., PO. Box 39565, Winnellie, Northern Territory 0821 Email: [email protected] Summary We report observations of Orange-footed Scrubfowl Megapodius reinwardt in 23 of30 suburbs of Darwin, Northern Territory, with nest-mounds in eight. Occupation of the suburbs by Scrubfowl appears to have occurred in the last decade or so. It is unclear whether the urban population of Scrubfowl is self-sustaining or supported by overflow from nearby monsoon-rainforest patches. Introduction Loss of habitat, along with their large size and ground-dwelling and mound­ building habits, renders megapodes vulnerable to a variety of threatening processes; consequently, two species are endangered (one critically) and seven are vulnerable (Dekker et al. 2000). However, the Australian Brush-turkey Alectura lathami is faring relatively well and has even adopted suburbia as habitat (Jones & Everding 1991, Jones et al. 2004). The Orange-footed Scrubfowl Megapodius reinwardt remains locally common in coastal northern Queensland and the Northern Territory (Barrett et al. 2003), and also occurs in northern Western Australia, Indonesia, and New Guinea. However, it is normally considered to be a shy species associated with rainforest, vine-thicket and associated (non-urban) habitats (Marchant & Higgins 1993). Darwin (12°27' S, 130°50' E) in the Northern Territory is a coastal city of approximately 90 000 people. Its mean annual rainfall of 1650 mm falls mostly between November and March inclusive.

  • Darwin As 'Creative Tropical City'
    Darwin as ‘Creative Tropical City’: Just how transferable is creative city thinking? Susan Luckman1, Chris Gibson2, Tess Lea3 and Chris Brennan-Horley2 1School of Communication, University of South Australia 2GeoQuest Research Centre, University of Wollongong 3School for Social and Policy Research, Charles Darwin University Abstract: This paper contributes to recent debates about how urban policy discourses travel, whether they are transferable and what is lost in their translation. It draws on recent ARC-Linkage funded research on Darwin, a tropical-savannah location which the local government wants to promote as a ‘creative city’. We contexualise our discussion in academic literatures on the creative city, and then discuss the geographical, demographic and cultural characteristics that make Darwin a challenging and distinct context for translation of global theories of creative city rejuvenation. As well as argue a case for more nuanced locationally-specific analysis of the capacity of places to embrace travelling policy discourses, we suggest ways in which creative city research can be refreshed, including through intersection with literatures on (post)colonial urban politics, and through consideration of policy initiatives other than those targeted at ‘creative industries’ per se. We also emphasise that tropical cities in remote locations provide particular challenges to accepted wisdom about creativity-led urban planning. Introduction This article discusses the traffic and transferability of policy ideas from place to place (cf. Tarde 1969). It is not an article based on empirical research, but rather a critical review of current ideas in the midst of a research project which comprises both empirical and policy-making phases. The research project in question seeks to map and explore the idea of Darwin, a place in Australia’s tropical-savannah north, as a ‘creative city’.
