Unravelling on the page, memories of a journey originating from the depths of the unconscious combine to create Inwards, a series of pen and ink presenting tales from the mind as tapestries of symbolic, mythological, and contemporary images. Inwards is comprised of a selection of works on paper, groupings of which create 7-feet-long friezes, embodying the artist’s desire to use drawing to communicate emotions, feelings, and ideas. Though the juxtaposition of images may at first seem random, each choice is made in full awareness of the meanings conveyed by these symbols and their combinations.

    TOWNSVILLE METRO: UNLOCKING URBAN POTENTIAL THROUGH IMPROVING A KEY TRANSIT CORRIDOR Citation: Caldera, S., Desha, C., Reid, S., Yen, B., Shearer, H., Newman, P. and Mouritz, M. (2020) Townsville metro: unlocking potential through improving Townsville’s transit corridor, Report for Project 1.62 Sustainable Centres of Tomorrow: People and Place, Sustainable Built Environment National Research Centre, Australia. Townsville Metro: Unlocking Potential through improving Townsville’s Transit Corridor Executive Summary Urban centres around the world are grappling with how to adapt and respond to the interconnected challenges of climate change, economic development and social inclusion. Fundamental to the solution is the ability of citizens to move around cities to access places of employment, education, healthcare and recreation. Design responses for new centres and urban renewal projects require collaboration and co- creation across governance levels and involving partnerships across multiple parties spanning designers and developers through to end-users. In 2016, the federal government launched City Deals as a new partnership mechanism to create productive and liveable cities, with Townsville being the first 15-year commitment involving planning, reform and investment for the city. The Sustainable Built Environment National Research Centre (SBEnrc) is working with government and industry partners to enquire into procurement strategies and technologies that enable urban renewal in Australian cities. Through Project 1.62 – Sustainable Centres of Tomorrow, a place-making evaluation framework has been developed to inform project-specific business cases as they may arise through a City Deal or other ventures. Using the framework, trackless tram technology is being evaluated in several case study sites around Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, Perth), as an emergent transport catalyst to ‘unlock the urban potential’ between and around urban ‘nodes’ (i.e.

  • Highways Byways
    Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties.
