Jake Chard August 9 2013 Teacher: Mrs. Bourke Table of Contents Introduction……………………………………………………………………………………3 Aims and Hypotheses……………………………………………………………………..4 Research Methodology…………………………………………………………………..4 Research Findings…………………………………………………………………………..5 Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………………….11 Evaluation……………………………………………………………………………………..11 Bibliography………………………………………………………………………………….12 Introduction Bondi has been a large area since it was brought up and traffic has gone out of control throughout the years. Bondi is positioned with unique features such as Bondi Beach, Bondi Junction and Bondi Westfield. Bondi is a major centre throughout travelling from place to place. Bondi has many main forms of traffic as Bondi Junction has many types of transport throughout the Junction. Bondi Junction is identified as a ‘major centre’ in the Metropolitan Strategy due to its strategic location On the rail transport network, with a full scale shopping mall, council offices, taller office and residential Buildings and central community facilities. A maJor centre acts as the principal shopping and Business centre for the surrounding area. The strategy endorses growth in both employment and Housing in Bondi Junction. Bondi has increased road traffic and popularity over the years having unique features and having Bondi junction as a major centre part of Sydney from getting to a place through a variety of transport such as trains,buses,cars,bikes are the main forms of traffic reached in the Bondi area through day to day. Understanding Bondi’s unique features Bondi’s main features that bring up road traffic include: • Bondi Beach • Bondi Junction • Bondi Westfield Aims and Hypotheses Hypotheses There is a big problem in controlling Bondi’s traffic flow. There will be a number of reasons for high traffic flow in the Bondi area due to the main forms of traffic, cars, buses, trains and bikes and Bondi being the main centre of Sydney through transport and its unique features Bondi Junction and Bondi Beach. Project Aims The inquiry will be to: 1) Identify the Road traffic in the Bondi area 2) Identify the road traffic affect on people 3) Ways we can reduce the heavy road traffic in Bondi 4) Identifying the reasons for heavy road traffic in the Bondi area. Research Methodology For this Senior Geography ProJect a variety of studies were undertaken based on simply the road traffic in the Bondi Area. Primary research studies took place in Bondi obviously by two ways. The first method was asking random people on the street (on the main road –Bondi Road) for their opinions on the problem and secondly asking some family friends and family who live in Bondi to complete a survey/questionnaire relating to the matter. Primary research took place using two main sources: 1. Asking people from all areas o fill out a questionnaire on Bondi’s road traffic. 2. Interview- speaking to people about the problem. Secondary research took place using two main sources: 1. Waverly Council 2. Using the Internet to help find the research and topic for my question. Data was collected by combining the primary and secondary research. A number of days were spent conducting fieldwork including assessing the range of responses from the public and the responses I received from emails. SGP Mini Questions What is the spatial dimension of this issue? Bondi was brought up in the early 1900’s having a large impact over Sydney being the centre of traffic through Sydney people wanting to see its unique features including Bondi Beach, Bondi junction and Bondi Westfield overpopulating the traffic in the area of bondi.Bondi’s unique features, Bondi Beach and Bondi Junction attracting tourists enlarging the population and traffic forms of Bondi. There is a big issue in controlling Bondi’s traffic flow throughout Bondi beach, Bondi Westfield and Bondi Junction. These unique features of Bondi have created an increase in traffic flow over the years from the overpopulating area of Bondi and its tourists to see Australia’s most famous beach Bondi Beach. Waverley council has used management strategies to prevent the ongoing increased road traffic in Bondi. Bondi is a mostly medium and high-density residential area centred on Bondi Road, where the shopping area is situated. Bondi Beach is a neighboring suburb and beach on the east side of Bondi. Bondi Junction is a neighboring suburb and commercial centre to the west of Bondi. Tamarama, Bronte and Waverley are situated on the south side of Bondi. It was brought up with a large population creating heavy traffic flows through Bondi .In 2011 it was recorded through a census that Bondi has a large population, there were 9,614 residents in Bondi. Bondi Junction is an eastern suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Bondi Junction is located 6 kilometers east of the Sydney central business district and is part of the local government area of the Waverley. Bondi Junction is a largely commercial area which has undergone many changes since the late 20th century. There have been many maJor commercial and residential developments around the main street and surrounding area, notably a new bus/rail interchange and large shopping mall. Many of the original pubs have been maintained, notably, the Nelson Hotel, so named because of its location on Nelson Street, still exudes Bondi Junction's working class roots. Bondi Junction plays many roles for a diverse range of people who live, work and play in and around the town centre. Each day Bondi Junction functions as a shopping and commercial centre, a community meeting point, a place of work and a commuting hub for thousands of residents,workers,school students and tourists. Bondi Beach, Australia’s most famous beach is located in the suburb of Bondi, in the Municipality of Waverley, seven kilometers from the centre of Sydney. Bondi Beach is a neighboring suburb to the east with a world-famous beach. Bondi and North Bondi are also neighboring suburbs. How to get to Australia’s most famous Bondi Beach Bondi Beach is a suburb of Sydney and Sydney is the capital city of the state of New South Wales. If you are coming to Bondi Beach, try to leave your car at home. Public transport in Sydney is pretty dismal but parking can be even more of a problem at the beach. Be warned of parking meters in the shopping streets close to the beach. There are residents parking schemes in most streets which limit visitors to 2 hours. Buses run to the beach at 10 minute intervals or better all day from Bondi Junction. Services are less frequent after about 7:30 pm at night, with buses every 15 minutes until midnight and, as your last resort, a bus runs every hour all night. On Friday and Saturday nights there are buses every half hour all night. The railway station at Bondi Junction is about 2 kilometers back from the beach. The train service is supposed to run every 10 minutes, and more frequently in peak hour. All, repeat all, buses from the beach to the city go via this railway station at Bondi Junction. Westfield What are the main forms of traffic in the Bondi area? Bondi has a heavy traffic flow due to high population of area crossing it day to day and the many forms of traffic that are used to get to Bondi. Bondi is made up of different types of traffic; they are cars, buses, trains and bikes. In bondi Junction in 2010 the main method of travel to and from bondi junction was made up of the following main forms of traffic, cars was the main form of traffic at 47%,train 18%,buses 14%,bike and motorbike 2% and the rest was others ways and walking. Main method of transport to and from Bondi Juncon Cars Motorcycle Walk Bicycle Train Bus Other Cars 47% Motorcycle 1% Walk 18% Bicycle 1% Train 18% Bus 14% Other 1% Transport around Sydney is very easy to view online through NSW Transport on Google. I have listed an example of bus routes via Elizabeth Street Sydney direct to Bondi Beach.

Waverley Council has many management strategies over the control of traffic in the Bondi area. The main management strategies that has been over the years and needed a lot of help to stop the heavy traffic flow become a serious problem through Bondi junction. The Waverley council has implemented a strategic plan over Bondi junction through a traffic and transport review to stop the high traffic flow and how they can help the area. Bondi Junction plays many roles for a diverse range of people who live, work and play in and around the town centre.

The facility is located in Sydney’s suburb of Homebush, in the middle of the Olympic Park of the Australian city. When it was inaugurated, due to its 110,000 seats, it immediately conquered the “largest Olympic stadium in the world” title and at the same time it is the largest in Australia. The structure was designed and built with the intent of respecting demanding environmental conditions: compared to other Olympic stadiums (Athens and Beijing), as an example, less steel was used. The construction was started in September 1996 and completed just two and a half years later: on March 6, 1999, Sydney’s Olympic Stadium saw its first sport event: two rugby13 matches watched by 104,583 spectators. From October 2001 to October 2003, Stadium Australia was refurbished to make it the only stadium in the world capable of hosting five different professional sports: Rugby13 league, Rugby15 (Union), Australian Football, Soccer and Cricket.
