  • ELYSE KNOWLES Stellar, 21 April, 2019 Block Party with Winter
    ELYSE KNOWLES Stellar, 21 April, 2019 Block Party With winter quickly approaching, Myer ambassador Elyse Knowles models layered streetwear, perfect for the cooler months It’s common knowledge that Byron Bay is home to more than a few famous faces – most notably Hollywood royalty Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky. But the beach town’s newest residents, model Elyse Knowles and her longtime partner, carpenter Josh Barker, won’t be bombarding their A-list neighbours with invitations to backyard barbecues anytime soon. “We’ve seen them on the beach quite a few times,” explains Knowles. “But we stick to the boundaries. They’re trying to live a normal life, walking their dog with their kids, and just having a ripper time. Everyone here is on the same page – I don’t like being stopped every two seconds, so I wouldn’t ever stop them either.” In addition to the appeal of relative anonymity away from the prying eyes of paparazzi, Knowles, 26, admits their recent move from Melbourne was in part a self-imposed respite from the city lifestyle. “It’s forced me to step back and realise what I really want to be stressing about in my day,” Knowles tells Stellar. “This year I’m going to stop, breathe, relax and enjoy. I’ve been putting a lot of focus on trying to find balance.” Since becoming an Australian household name in 2017 when she and Barker won the 13th season of The Block, Knowles has continued adding to her impressive résumé. A campaign for Seafolly, partnerships with Calvin Klein, Davidoff and Aveda, and a gig following in Jennifer Hawkins’s footsteps as a Myer ambassador further cemented her one-to-watch status.

  • Chapter 3 Redevelopment of the Block
    LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL Inquiry into issues relating to Redfern/Waterloo Chapter 3 Redevelopment of the Block The terms of reference for the Inquiry require the Committee to examine proposals for the future of the Block. The long-term future of the Block and its residents is a complex issue requiring initiatives to address social and economic disadvantage experienced by the local Aboriginal community. These issues will be examined in the second stage of the Inquiry and will be addressed in the Final Report. This chapter focuses on the future of the Block in terms of the redevelopment of housing. The purpose of the Committee’s examination of this issue is not to decide what the future of the Block is to be, as that must be determined by the Aboriginal Housing Company and the Aboriginal community. Rather, the Committee has sought to gather together the range of views expressed by members of the community and local organisations during this Inquiry, in order to explore the issues surrounding the Aboriginal Housing Company’s Pemulwuy Redevelopment Project and the progress of the redevelopment. This chapter commences with a brief history of the Block and the Aboriginal community in Redfern and Waterloo. History of the Block and the Aboriginal community in Redfern 3.1 ‘The Block’ is the colloquial name for a residential block in Redfern bounded by Louis, Vine, Eveleigh and Caroline Streets. The Block is owned by the Aboriginal Housing Company. A map of the local area is set out as Appendix 4. 3.2 Redfern and the Block in particular, is a place of political, spiritual and cultural significance for Aboriginal people in Sydney and also for Aboriginal people throughout New South Wales and Australia.

  • Iconic Redfern the Creation and Disintegration of an Urban Aboriginal Icon
    U H P H 2 0 1 6 I c o n s : T h e M a k i n g , M e a n i n g a n d U n d o i n g o f U r b a n I c o n s a n d I c o n i c C i t i e s | 530 Iconic Redfern The creation and disintegration of an urban Aboriginal icon Michael Hromek University of Technology, Sydney [email protected] While the idea of urban icons might be about producing iconic buildings in terms of form and shape, the specific use of high-end materials, or a particular strategy for the organisation of urban spaces, places often have significant meanings through very different – and often underappreciated – means. Significantly, the people who inhabit them and live in them thus give the place a distinctiveness that contributes to its iconic status. Considering the above, this paper will look at a particular example of this – The Block in Redfern, Sydney – which is considered to be significant for Indigenous people. Yet while many recognise the contribution of Australia’s Indigenous population toward the making of this iconic place, at the same time other forces – such as gentrification, rental prices, political power struggles, etc. – are actively working against the long-term formalisation of this place. This paper will thus analyse the past, present and prospective future of The Block, and consider how is Redfern and The Block considered to be an iconic place for Indigenous and non-indigenous people? Also significant is the notion that The Block has been demolished, and the majority of its Indigenous population have been forced out or relocated, and that there is a current approved proposal to rebuild The Block with undefined plans to re-house a portion of its previous Indigenous community.
