  • The Great Property Crime Drop: a Regional Analysis
    NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research Bureau Brief Issue paper no. 88 July 2013 The Great Property Crime Drop: A regional analysis Don Weatherburn and Jessie Holmes Aim: To describe and discuss regional variation between parts of NSW in the rate at which theft and robbery offences have fallen. Method: Percentage changes in rates of offending in robbery and various categories of theft were calculated for the period 2000 to 2012. Changes in the extent to which rates of crime across areas have become more similar were quantified by comparing the standard deviation in crime rates across areas in 2000 to the standard deviation in crime rates in 2012. Product moment calculations were used to measure (a) the extent to which areas with high crime rates in 2000 also had high crime rates in 2012 and (b) the extent to which areas with the highest crime rates in 2000 had the largest falls in crime in 2012. Results: The fall in property crime and robbery across NSW between 2000 and 2012 has been very uneven; being much larger in Sydney and other urban areas than in rural areas. The fall in theft offence rates ranges from 62 per cent in the Sydney Statistical Division (SD) to 5.9 per cent in the Northern SD. Similarly, the fall in robbery rates ranges from 70.8 per cent in the Sydney SD to 21.9 per cent in the Northern SD. In some areas some offences actually increased. The Murray, Northern, Murrumbidgee, North Western, Hunter and Central West SDs, for example, all experienced an increase in steal from a retail store.

  • Fact Sheet 13
    ABORIGINAL PEOPLE Fact Sheet no.13 Aboriginal people believe that they have been living in Australia since the beginning of time. Their complex cultural and spiritual connections to the environment and their kinship system have developed through their belief in the Dreaming, which is a time of creation, passed on from generation to generation and still seen today through stories, songs, dances, ceremonies and art. Recent research has determined that Aboriginal people were part of the first wave of modern humans out of Africa. Aboriginal people are thought to have possibly first occupied the Australian continent 60,000 years ago. Radiometric carbon dating also indicates that they were likely to have occupied the Sydney region as early as 40 000 years ago during the time of the last Ice Age. Prior to the European invasion, Aboriginal people in the Willoughby area relied on the marine environments of Sydney Harbour, Broken Bay and the many creeks , rivers and wetlands for much of their food. They also harvested and hunted for food from the surrounding bush. The bush was the supermarket, the hardware shop, the pharmacy and the church. Being self-sufficient, Sydney Aboriginal people had little need to travel far from their lands as the resources in the area were abundant and trade with other clans was well established. Moving throughout their country in accordance with the seasons, Aboriginal people spent only four to five hours per day working to ensure their survival. With such a large amount of leisure time available, they developed a rich and complex ritual life - language, customs, spirituality and the law - the heart of which is the connection between the people, Country and spiritual beliefs.

  • Local Government Responses to Urban Consolidation Policy: Meeting Housing Targets in Northern Sydney
    Local Government Responses to Urban Consolidation Policy: Meeting Housing Targets in Northern Sydney THESIS PROJECT Planning and Urban Development Program The Faculty of the Built Environment University of New South Wales Lauren Baroukh 3158821 - i - ABSTRACT Urban consolidation is the central housing policy guiding future residential development in the existing urban areas of Sydney. In accordance with the Sydney Metropolitan Strategy and subsequently elaborated in various Subregional Strategies, councils are required to achieve housing targets and accommodate higher density housing within their Local Government Areas. This thesis examines how councils are implementing these targets and achieving the urban consolidation objectives defined within strategic planning documents. It provides an analysis of council responses, primarily through the rezoning of land within revised Local Environmental Plans and local housing strategies. The thesis examines the factors which councils consider when selecting sites for higher density housing, such as proximity to town centres and public transport, the capacity of existing infrastructure and services, preserving the character of low density areas and determining appropriate building heights. The research indicates that councils are beginning to implement the housing targets and achieving many of the objectives suggested within the Sydney Metropolitan Strategy. In particular, the thesis identifies the issue of infrastructure provision as requiring further consideration by councils and state agencies. Higher density housing within existing urban areas needs to be appropriately located and planned in a way that responds to the unique characteristics of the locality. - ii - ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Special thanks go to Christine Steinmetz for her valuable advice, guidance and support which is much appreciated. I would also like to thank the interviewees for their time and insights which have made a valuable contribution to this project.

  • Lane Cove Bushland Park
    LANE COVE BUSHLAND PARK by Ray and Elma Kearney The first Australian Fungal Heritage site In November, 2000, the first fungal heritage site for Australia, located at Lane Cove Bushland Park (LCBP), was listed on the Register of the National Estate, under the Australian Heritage Commission Act, 1975. Ray and Elma Kearney, members of and on behalf of the Sydney Fungal Studies Group Inc. (SFSGI) prepared the application submitted for the listing for Lane Cove Council (the owner and manager of LCBP). The submission was based primarily upon the total number of species of Hygrocybe found there, known unofficially to exceed 25, easily ranking the site as one of heritage value. Previously, in January 1999, two applications under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995 were submitted by Ray and Elma Kearney, on behalf of the SFSGI to the Scientific Committee established under the Act. The Determination resulted in the Hygrocybe Community at LCBP being legislated as an Endangered Ecological Community. A Final Determination is currently being considered on the second application that seeks to list at least six holotypes of Hygrocybe as Rare Native Species. Lane Cove Bushland Park (LCBP) LCBP is a site in the middle of a high-density residential area about 4 km from the Sydney G.P.O. Centred about a tributary of Gore Creek, the warm temperate gallery forest has an assemblage of at least 25 species of the family Hygrophoraceae (Fungi, Basidiomycota, Agaricales, Hygrophoraceae). The species in the community were formally identified and classified by Dr A. M. Young (1999). The following species have been recorded in the community : Hygrocybe anomala var.

  • Case Study: Northern Sydney Community Recyling Centre
    Case Study: Northern Sydney community recyling centre COUNCIL NAME Overview Northern Sydney Regional Organisation Five councils in northern Sydney have partnered to establish a Community Recycling Centre of Councils (NSROC) (CRC) on commercial premises. No council had available operational land suitable to establish WEB ADDRESS a facility, so Northern Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils arranged a lease of a suitable www.nsroc.com.au commercial premises. Working together has allowed resource sharing between councils, increased the efficiency of problem waste collection and helps to reduce the illegal dumping of problem wastes. Background Northern Sydney Regional Waste Strategy aims to manage problem wastes through establishing three CRCs in the region by 2021. Hornsby Shire Council is setting up a CRC at the northern end of the region. Another site was sought to cater for residents on the lower north shore. Artarmon was considered suitable as it is centrally located and the zoning permits waste facilities. Four councils were already supporting Chemical Clean Out events in conjunction with the EPA, and the events were increasing in popularity. The one council which no longer ran such events was regularly asked by residents to restore the service. The key objective of this project was to provide accessible and affordable problem waste disposal facilities for the region. Implementation A governance framework provided a transparent process which enabled the five partner councils and NSROC to work collectively to set the project objectives and oversee implementation. A Deed of Agreement was established to clarify each partner's responsibilities and roles. Signing the deed demonstrated each party's acceptance of its obligations and ensured that each partner could budget for its own resource contributions in the knowledge that the remaining funds were guaranteed.

  • Spatial and Temporal Variability of Particulate Trace Metals in Port Jackson Estuary, Australia
    Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science (2001) 53, 63–77 doi:10.1006/ecss.2001.0792, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on Spatial and Temporal Variability of Particulate Trace Metals in Port Jackson Estuary, Australia V. Hatjea,c, G. F. Bircha and D. M. Hillb aEnvironmental Geology Group, University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia bEnvironment Division, ANSTO, Lucas Heights, NSW 2234, Australia Received 27 June 2000 and accepted in revised form 20 February 2001 Major elements (Al, Ca, Fe and Mn) and trace elements (Cu, Cr, Pb, Zn and Ni) in operationally defined available and total particulate phases have been determined along an axial transect of the Port Jackson Estuary during twelve surveys between 1998 and 1999. Salinity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and suspended particulate material (SPM) were also measured. Temporal and spatial variability were tested by two-factor analysis of variance. Throughout the estuary Zn and Ni exhibited a uniform distribution. It is suggested that the low reactivity of these elements may be a result of the water physicochemistry, low SPM concentrations and long residence time in the Port Jackson Estuary. Anthropogenic sources of Zn and Ni are widespread in the Port Jackson catchment, and also contribute to the spatial distribution observed in the estuary. The distributions of particulate Cu and Pb are significantly affected by anthropogenic inputs, particularly, from the southern embayments in the lower estuary. It is suggested that the increase of Cu and Pb seaward is also related to sorption of these elements on Fe-Mn oxides. Mixing, however, can largely account for the distribution of Cr, which was the only element that presented significant decrease in concentration with increasing salinity.
