  • Living in Australia
    Unit 2 Place and liveability Living in Australia Both Indigenous Australians and early European settlers to Australia made decisions about where to live based on the availability of resources they needed to survive – things like water, food and shelter. The factors that influence where people live today are more varied. As well as needing access to food, water and shelter, people also choose where to live based on things like access to services (such as hospitals and schools), environmental quality (such as access to clean air and parklands) and safety. Connections to family, friends and places also influence where we live. Where we choose to live can also change over time due to a range of factors, such as work and property prices. In retirement, many people opt for a sea change or tree change to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle. chapter Source 1 An oblique aerial photograph of the Melbourne showing the suburb of St Kilda in the foreground4 4A 4B DRAFT Where do Australians live and How do people connect why? to places? 1 What features shown in Source 1 tell you that many 1 What common interests or hobbies might people people live in the suburb of St Kilda? who live in St Kilda share? 2 Why do you think people choose to live in 2 How might the lifesavers at St Kilda Beach be St Kilda? considered a community of their own? 112 oxford big ideas humanities 7 victorian curriculum chapter 4 living in australia 113 4A Where do Australians live and why?

  • South West Rail Link Concept Plan and Environmental Assessment
    South West Rail Link Concept Plan and Environmental Assessment EcoTransit Sydney Submission PO Box 630 Milsons Point NSW 1565 0438 253 022 [email protected] Introduction 1. EcoTransit Sydney is a community-based organisation that is dedicated to promoting ecologically sustainable modes of transport for Sydney. 2. EcoTransit is broadly in agreement with many of the stated objectives of the South West Rail Link (hereinafter ‘SWRL’) and of the Metropolitan Rail Expansion Programme (hereinafter ‘MREP’). In particular the intention to improve the public transport system across metropolitan Sydney is welcomed. 3. A desired outcome of the SWRL project is stated as the facilitation of Transit- Oriented Development (‘TOD’) in the South West Growth Centre (‘SWGC’). Whereas EcoTransit also welcomes this approach, TOD is something that must be extended city-wide across the transport network. 4. EcoTransit would like to highlight the dangers in allowing private vehicle usage to become dominant in the SWGC, and such dominance entrenched, in the event that the SWRL is in any way delayed. This has been the case for the majority of new housing estates in the south-west over the last two decades. Existing Context 5. In terms of the Transport Context for this project, it is noted that the existing rail network to this area has frequencies described as ‘relatively convenient.’ [2.3.1] This is patently wrong for users of the network outside peak hours and is not borne out by experience. It is important for planners to realize that Macarthur services to/from the City are practicable for the great majority of train travellers only by the East Hills line.
