Project Aim To investigate the economic, social and cultural impacts of multiculturalism on the City of Bankstown. Hypothesis The city of Bankstown will benefit from increased multiculturalism boosting the economy, bringing employment opportunities and business. Also, more of a community sense in terms of population growth (socially/culturally). Picture 1 Map of Bankstown area representing the area studied divided into 4 regions North, South, East and West. 3 SENIOR GEOGRAPHY PROJECT Methodology The questions that were asked were concerned with current issues in the region and predicted issues for the future, as well as enquiring about the perceived effects socially, culturally and economically. These particular surveys were extremely useful in aiding the results of this investigation as they provided the thoughts, feelings and opinions of those people who lived in and around the area. They were important as they provided information from citizens of Bankstown who are subjected to certain issues surrounding multiculturalism in the area. How you collected your data and why this method was selected? Observations Background reading – Reports Internet Photos Maps Tables Graphs Surveys Newspaper Articles A variety of primary and secondary sources were used when conducting this investigation. A significant way of collecting data was extensive surveys conducted in the city of Bankstown. Numerous techniques were used when retrieving information on the topic, some included handing out physical survey forms and small pieces of paper to the link of the online survey depending on the availability of the respondent. This method of surveying was selected as it offers very accurate primary source that is directly affiliated with my investigation topic, this enables the most up to date information directly from the residents of the area. In addition, another way I collected my data was a secondary source on ‘The City of Bankstown’s’ website in which some areas align with my investigation on Multiculturalism in the area. This information will be used alongside my survey results to increase accuracy and validity. Another reason why this method was selected as it presents very current ideas/information in relation to older secondary sources that are less accurate. What is the size of your sample? The size of the sample in this survey was 58 people in the survey (first hand investigation); these people ranged from ages 14 to 60, both male and female and a variety of annual income. All surveyed participants were residents of Bankstown. 4 SENIOR GEOGRAPHY PROJECT How the sample was selected? The survey was a self-completion questionnaire, a copy of which is appended to this document. It must be noted that, due to the self-selection of respondents (this is people chose whether or not to participate in this survey largely on the basis of their interest in the topic) it is likely that the views expressed in the survey are not representative of a wider audience. In fact it is most likely that the survey will contain a variety of views and opinions, with those who hold strong views (positive or negative) about multicultural Bankstown much more likely to participate in the survey than those who do not feel so strongly about it as an issue. What was the duration of the research? The research began in week 3 of term 2 (12th of May) to week 1 of term 3 (14th of July) approx. 2 months of continuous in depth research which included primary and secondary source information. How the data was processed? The data was processed in a variety of different ways. Excel was used when producing different graphs. Also certain data trends were recognisable when final results were relieved. Certain secondary sources (websites) were processed by extracting certain information from council/government reports and findings.

A city that is well planned, attractive and sustainable; a city that provides affordable, attractive and sustainable housing; a city with high quality community assets; a city that protects and promotes its history and identity. 2.1.1 Current Urban form Urban form refers to the way the local area looks and feels. It includes dwelling types and their age, building height, the concentration of dwellings in a given area (or ‘density’), and the public domain areas including footpaths, roads, parks and plazas. Urban form also refers to how these elements integrate with natural features of the local area such as topography, bushlands and the areas around the Georges River and its tributaries. The existing urban form in the three local area centres – Panania, Panania Top of the Hill and East Hills – and the neighbourhood areas is discussed below. The role of the centres in Bankstown City has been previously identified in Council’s Residential Development Strategy as follows: Panania - Small Village Centre – this centre captures land within 400m of Panania Station. Panania Top of the Hill – Neighbourhood Centre - this centre captures land within 150m of the middle of the mainstreet. East Hills - Neighbourhood Centre – this centres capture land within 150m of the East Hills Railway Station.

Around 30 per cent of its people speak a language other than English at home; 60 per cent of Sydney’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people reside there. It has a proud migrant and indigenous heritage. The wealth of arts and cultural activity in Western Sydney should not be underestimated. The region is home to numerous galleries, museums, festivals, professional and amateur performance companies, highly-regarded community based arts organisations and a diversity of traditional multicultural arts. The community- based arts networks are energetic and productive. More than a quarter of Sydney’s cultural and recreational workforce lives in Western Sydney - an important foundation for jobs, entertainment and tourism.

  • Responses from Marrickville Submissions
    Responses from Marrickville Submissions Sydenham to Bankstown Urban Renewal Strategy 2017 Information from the 255 submissions reviewed from Marrickville, Sydenham & Earlwood which pertained to Marrickville Station Precinct & Sydenham: 1 states “Well done planning” -name withheld 1 supports revitalisation and higher density unconditionally 2 submissions supported increased heights unconditionally 1 submission argued that many people want the strategy. Total of 5 were unconditionally supportive 10 submissions requested that height of their house block be increased saying that they wanted their street/block higher so that they could get a better price. 1 submission supported increased heights on Carrington Rd. All other submissions were against the Renewal Strategy and included many varied reasons. Many submissions accepted that there would be revitalisation, development and higher density, however they were not pleased with the strategy as proposed. They asked that there be “considered planning”, “intelligent development within reason” & “renewal to respect character”. They expressed a “desire to get development right”, a “desire for good urban development”, to see “a proposition that embraces intelligent, visionary planning on a human scale that enhances the quality of living, improves our environment, encourages connectedness and community.”. There were so many carefully researched, thought provoking and well written submissions. People in our community care so much for the sense of community and the love for Marrickville comes through very strongly in so many submissions. Submissions read were from broad range of people, from National Trust, academics, property owners but mostly from passionate local residents. Some had lived here a long time (50 years) others have moved in last 20 years and came here because they love the old house and character of Marrickville.
