Suncorp Bank Family Friendly City Report Introduction Suncorp Bank Family Friendly City Report Introduction Launceston and Canberra have scooped the pool as Australia’s most family friendly cities, bumping Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane to 14th, 23rd and 24th positions respectively, according to a study into the family friendliness of the nation’s 30 largest cities. The inaugural Suncorp Bank Family Friendly Index shows that half of the top 10 family friendly cities are not state or territory capitals and instead include the smaller, regional cities of Albury/Wodonga, Toowoomba, and Launceston. The report finds that crowded, stressful, urban jungles and under serviced Eastern seaboard capitals are being upstaged by regional towns as the most family friendly cities in Australia. The inaugural Suncorp Bank Family Friendly City Index monitors the most populated 30 cities in Australia and ranks them according to which city is the most family friendly across 10 key indicators. The indicators themselves are divided into two categories; Primary and Secondary. Primary indicators refer to those indicators that have a larger bearing on a city’s ‘livability’, (such as, crime education and housing) as such these indicators are weighted double that of the secondary indicators. While the Index analyses indicators such as Education, Crime, Health, Income, Unemployment and Connectivity, some notable omissions include Environment (climate and weather), Lifestyle (beaches and parks) which have not been included due to their subjective nature and a lack of consistent data for each of the 30 cities analysed. Methodology To derive the rankings for the Suncorp Bank Family Friendly City Index each city was systematically ranked on each of the 10 indicators. For reasons previously explained the primary indicators received added weight when compiling the index, with each primary indicator worth double that of a secondary indicator. Each of the indicators raw sources were tallied and then ranked one to thirty, with one being the most desirable score and thirty being the least. All scores (or ranks) were totalled with the lowest score being given the overall number one rank of the inaugural Suncorp Bank Family Friendly Index. A note about data sources The Suncorp Bank Family Friendly Index is based on measurements gathered through robust government and private sector quantitative data that is publicly available. The following data sources were used to obtain the index measurements. Unemployment • Percentage of the working age population unemployed • Data sourced from the 2011 census • http://www.abs.gov.au/websitedbs/censushome.nsf/home/data?opendocument#from-banner=LN Income •

(NSW) Key findings • Launceston is Australia’s number 1 ‘family friendly’ city, ahead of Canberra • Of the ‘big three’ Melbourne is ranked 14th, ahead of Sydney (23rd) and Brisbane (24th) • Queensland is the most family friendly state, with six cities in Australia’s top 20 family friendly • Tasmanian city of Burnie is Australia’s healthiest city while Launceston enjoys the least crowded schools • Queensland regional hotspot Toowoomba is the employment capital of Australia • Adelaide is Australia’s safest city, with the lowest levels of crime • Canberra is the volunteer capital of Australia with the city’s population clocking up more community work hours than any other city, while it also wins the childcare and disposable income categories. 4 Suncorp Bank Crime In a surprise result Adelaide took out the title of Australia’s safest city, having the lowest crime rate (per 100,000 of the population). The measurement took into account all criminal activity over a 12 month period, with Western Australia’s Bunbury and Tasmania’s Launceston rounding out the top three. Cairns, Canberra and Brisbane had some of the highest recoded criminal activity over the reporting period with more than 10% of the population experiencing some form of crime, including domestic violence, fraud and sexual assault.

  • 19. Liberty Square
    19. Liberty Square Liberty Square was named by the Darwin Town Council in June 1919 to commemorate the ‘Darwin Rebellion’ of 17 December 1918. That rebellion, which culminated in a protest directed at Government House by hundreds of workers on this site, and the unrest leading to it, resulted in a 1919 Royal Commission into the Administration of the Northern Territory conducted by Justice Norman Kirkwood Ewing (1870-1928). On the western side of Liberty Square is a memorial cairn at the place where the sub-sea cable from Banjowangie (Banyuwangi) Indonesia was joined with the Overland Telegraph Line to revolutionise communications in Australia on 20 November 1871. Towards the eastern side is a plinth and plaque commemorating the scientific achievement of Pietro ‘Commendatore’ Baracchi who, in collaboration with colleagues in Singapore and Banjowangie, established true longitude of Port Darwin and other Australian colonial and New Zealand capital cities in 1883 in the grounds of the Port Darwin Post Office and Telegraphic Station (now Parliament House). On the eastern side near the Supreme Court is a Banyan tree, which is valued by the community as a remnant of the original Darwin foreshore vegetation. It is over 200 years old and was the congregation point for Larrakia youths prior to ceremonies that took place under the nearby Tamarind tree. Liberty Square was the site for the original Darwin Cenotaph, which is now located on the old Darwin Oval on the Esplanade. History Sub-sea Telegraph Cables From the 1850s telegraph technology was very quickly taken up by the Australian colonies, building networks across their own territories, and then soon connecting to each other.
