  • Clarence City Council Area – Community/Household Food Access Profile
    CLARENCE CITY COUNCIL AREA – COMMUNITY/HOUSEHOLD FOOD ACCESS PROFILE Introduction & disclaimer – This profile have been developed by the Heart Foundation Tasmania as part of the Healthy Food Access Tasmania Project. The information highlighted in this profile was gathered in 2014/15 and it provides an overview for the local government area. For any questions or additional information please contact the Heart Foundation. Why does access to healthy food matter? Limited or poor access to healthy food has both health and social outcomes for people who are struggling with this issue. There are many health conditions and diseases associated with or caused by a poor diet resulting from poor economic or physical access to healthy food. The diseases include heart disease1, diabetes2, some cancers3, and other health conditions such as overweight4 and obesity5. Poor access to healthy food can cause poor physical development in children and impact their learning and attendance at school6. For adults who have poor access to healthy food it is often very stressful and causes them to be anxious and ashamed7. This often also means they avoid social occasions in their communities and with family so can become socially isolated8. How are the residents of Clarence doing? Currently only 49% of adults living in Clarence eat the recommended 2 piece of fruit per day and 8.3 % eat the recommended 5 serves of vegetables. This compares with 42% and 9.8% state averages. Clarence Residents are unfortunately eating slightly less fruit and vegetables in 2013 when compared with 20099. For adults living in Clarence 18.5 % are obese (state average 23%)9 and 16 % report that their health is poor or fair versus (19% state average)10.

  • Landslides in Tasmania
    Landslide Brochure 1 Landslides in Tasmania Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT) has for many years studied and mapped landslides throughout Tasmania in response to community concerns about the dangers posed by land instability. This brochure provides information specific to Tasmania, but there are numerous general sources of information about landslide risk management also available. Do landslides occur in Tasmania? Landslides (or slope failures) are widespread in Tasmania and are typically the result of natural processes that have been occurring over long geological time scales. Landslides occur in a range of sizes and types due to Tasmania’s varied geology, topography and geomorphic (land forming) processes, including the effects of past and present climates. Landslides can also be triggered by human activities and can occur in surprising and unexpected places. Is there a serious landslide risk in Tasmania? Research conducted by MRT shows that large tracts of land throughout Tasmania are susceptible to slope instability, including parts of all the major urban areas. Distribution of known landslides in Tasmania (yellow The nature and magnitude of the known past landslides indicate that similar events points) — about 2700 landslide occurrences are stored in the MRT landslide database (as of 2014). In reality occurring today would have the potential for significant damage to property and, in many more will not have been reported or mapped. Red some cases, may put lives at risk. points are records of known damage to buildings and infrastructure, including at least 125 houses, caused by Over 150 buildings in landslides. Tasmania (including at least 125 houses) are known to have been damaged or destroyed by landslides since the 1950s — in all probability there are many more.

  • Adapting to Climate Change in the Coastal Zone in Western Australia
    Faculty of Humanities Curtin University Sustainability Policy Institute Adapting to Climate Change in the Coastal Zone in Western Australia: Meanings, Dimensions, Effectiveness and Shortfalls of Collaborative Coastal Adaptation Planning Chiara Danese Galano This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University August 2017 Declaration of Originality To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. The proposed research study received human research ethics approval from the Curtin University Human Research Ethics Committee (EC00262), Approval Number HR129/2010. Chiara Danese Friday 10 March 2017 2 Abstract In Australia, the coast is an important ecological, cultural, economic and community asset. The potential impacts of climate change on the coast is a critical issue for local councils who, as the closest level of government to the community, are required to play a key role in coastal adaptation planning. To meet the challenges of implementing such complex, complicated and resource intensive processes, and to overcome the inadequacy of traditional governance systems, collaborative arrangements between central and local governments in the form of voluntary partnerships have been become a popular means to plan for coastal adaptation. However, the important role of collaborative governance warrants closer examination in the academic literature; the pitfalls of technical approaches to coastal adaptation planning are the current focus. Thus, while collaboration has been instrumental in improving climate risk knowledge and progressing coastal adaptation decision making, the meanings, dimensions, effectiveness and shortfalls of collaborative coastal adaptation planning needs further analysis.
