Stella M. Barber February 2020 iii Abstract With the aftermath of World War II and the onset of the Cold War, Australia hosted with the UK one of the few global centres dedicated to the research, development and testing of rockets, jets and other long-range weapons, including Britain’s atomic warheads. By the mid 1950s a new purpose-built town had been constructed in the Australian desert, named “Woomera”, with a population of 7,000 at its peak. No expense was spared in establishing the testing grounds, laboratories and infrastructure – which included a security cleared film laboratory and production facilities at Salisbury near Adelaide – to support the Anglo-Australian Joint Project’s research and experimentation.

Of the 13 Year 12 students at RDAS, 11 are trying to split their time between work and study. Alison Lane, 17, is a full time Year 12 student, and a part time employee at Wendy’s, where she works an average of 15 hours a week. “Working and studying is very fulfilling but quite challenging. It is very important to find balance between the two while also having time to have a life outside of both,” she told The Monitor. Ms Lane is not alone; students who have part- time employment often work at least 15 hours a week on top of their studies, causing an ongoing debate within the community. The effect work has on their studies and overall health is has been addressed in both the education and workplace training and the business forums.

The combining of men’s and women’s soccer under the LCFA banner for season 2021 has triggered the league decision, which Millicent United Soccer Club has op- posed due to its reliance on females to fill its men’s teams.

  • Learning from Arid Planning and Design History and Practice: from Woomera to Creating the New Roxby Downs Communities
    Learning from Arid Planning and Design History and Practice: From Woomera to creating the new Roxby Downs Communities Dr Iris Iwanicki State President, Planning Institute of Australia (South Australian Division) E: [email protected] Associate Professor David Jones Director – Planning & Landscape Architecture Programs School of Architecture & Building Locked Bag 20000, Geelong, Vic 3220, Deakin University E: [email protected] Paper Presented at the Planning Institute of Australia 2012 National Congress | 29 April – 2 May 2012 | Adelaide, South Australia 1 Learning from Arid Planning and Design History and Practice: From Woomera to creating the new Roxby Downs Communities ABSTRACT: The principles and knowledge about arid planning and design have much applicability to contemporary Australian planning discourses because of climate change evidence and policy shifts that sketch a hotter and more unreliable future climate with an emphasis upon a semi-arid environment for Australia. Despite this merit and intent, we appear to have learnt little from the past and are failing to draw upon the pioneering planning and design knowledge that underpinned community development and scaffolding in numerous Australian arid and semi-arid communities, and to bring this knowledge into our future planning processes and strategies. This paper considers the essential attributes and variables of three Australian arid planning and design, drawing upon historical practice and research that have been explored in the planning of semi-arid and arid places including Port Pirie, Whyalla, Monarto, Broken Hill, Port Augusta, Leigh Creek, Andamooka, Olympic Dam Village and Roxby Downs. It specifically reviews Woomera Village (1940s) Shay Gap (1970s) and the proposed extensions to Roxby Downs (2010s) as models of how to better plan and design communities in arid environments.
