Priorities for Action

This section outlines the approach to be taken in capitalising on the opportunities and addressing the challenges identified above. These priorities for action are underpinned by asset based community development models. By making these opportunities a priority the identified challenges will be addressed, through further developing successful relationship building as part of a three phase process in which the priorities engage:

· existing regional expertise and knowledge partnerships;

· in the creation of emerging partnerships within identified areas of challenges and gaps; and

· with the community to assist in the creation of new and relevant partnerships within emerging regional areas of need.

Fitzgibbon, Brisbane

Located 12 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, the Fitzgibbon UDA covers 295-hectares of land in the northern suburbs of Fitzgibbon, Carseldine, Bald Hills, Taigum and Deagon. The Fitzgibbon UDA is bounded by the Aspley School district to the south, Telegraph Road to the north, Gympie Road to the west and the Gateway Motorway to the east.

Due to the rarity of greenfield sites in close proximity to transport networks in Brisbane, the Fitzgibbon UDA is uniquely positioned for transformation into a modern residential suburb developed on transit oriented principles, that includes bushland and significant open space.

Preventing Youth Disengagement and Promoting Engagement Reviewe

The review found that literature and perspectives of young people suggest that in addressing the structural and individual causes of exclusion and disengagement:

· Youth participation must be seen not only as an outcome, but also as a process for developing effective policy and programs that reduce youth exclusion and disengagement.

· Research should seek to understand what promotes engagement – as well as what causes experiences of disengagement.

· Policies should address multiple individual risk factors and work across settings (family, school, peer groups and community).

· Policies should also address social determinants through minimising structural disadvantage.

· Strategies must be developed that cut across policy silos.

· Successful strategies for addressing risk factors acknowledge community and connectedness as core components of youth experience and identity.

In addition, the review raises some questions:

· How can continuous service-provision models reduce the risks of disengagement?

· How can policy and program approaches best respond to the changing social context – particularly the emergence of the Internet as an important setting for youth experience?

· How can policy best respond to diversity in order to minimise the added risk experienced by young people from particular backgrounds?

http://www.homelessnessinfo.net.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=573:preventing-youth-disengagement-and-promoting-engagement&catid=143:continuous-quality-improvement&Itemid=188

Disengagement is often linked to individual attitudes, values, and competencies but youth engagement is also influenced by peers, family, school, community, culture and the media (77). Young people are also subject to a multitude of exclusionary processes which prevent them from engaging in a range of institutions, processes and settings (78). For example, young people involved in this project argued that assumptions about young people in general – and those from specific backgrounds – shaped the ways in which young people were both included and excluded.

"If you are wealthy and well educated, opportunities are given to you,

you don’t have to work for the opportunities as much than if you were

poor or uneducated or from a poorer socio-economic area. (Female, 19, face to face forum)

Disengagement is treated in the literature as both an indicator and a process that puts people at risk, as well as an outcome in and of itself. This review considers both perspectives and suggests that engagement is not a linear process or a definitive destination. A young person may be disengaged from school but engaged in employment, family or peer group (see Appendix 2 for case studies). With these caveats in mind, and borrowing from Canadian research, an ‘engagement spectrum’ was used to conceptualise the range of states of youth disengagement and engagement (79).

Young people are in trouble and need urgent action NOW.

• One in three girls will be sexually assaulted. One in eight boys will be sexually assaulted.1

• Over 263,000 children in Australia live with family violence, with about 181,200 children

witnessing domestic violence. 2

• Almost 20,000 children are victims of physical or sexual assault each year.3

• Over 412,000 Australian children are living below the most austere poverty line.4

• Almost 65,000 children are homeless or at risk of homelessness.5

• In Australia today, over 78,000 children live in a household where there is at least one daily

cannabis user.6

• In Australia today, over 27,000 children live in a household where an adult is using

methamphetamines monthly.7

• On any given night, one in two young people are turned away from crisis accommodation.8

There would appear to be a clear anxiety among those in positions of power and responsibility within society about the problematic behaviour of some individuals, as well as the need to maintain social inclusion and reduce social exclusion (Tait, 2000; Long & Sanderson, 2001). Central to this, particularly (although not exclusively) in relation to young people, is the issue of tackling disaffection. However, there are considerable difficulties in defining disaffection because researchers have employed numerous terms to define a cluster of behaviours, attitudes and experiences that could be covered by this overarching term. For example, labels such as 'at-risk' (Goodman, 1999), 'disenfranchised' (Riley & Rustique-Forrester, 2002; Kinder et al, 1995), 'marginalized' (Halas, 2001; Moote & Wodarski, 1997), 'excluded' (Steer, 2000), 'underserved' (Pitter & Andrews, 1997; Martinek, 1997), 'troubled' (Halas, 2001), 'delinquent' (Sugden & Yiannakis, 1982), 'alienated' (Halas, 2002; Moote & Wodarski, 1997) and, perhaps most commonly at present, 'disengaged' (Steer, 2000) have all been used to describe elements of disaffection. Moreover, the root causes of disaffection are also perceived to be numerous and interrelated, with some of the primary factors cited as being low self-esteem (e.g. Andrews & Andrews, 2003), poverty (Martinek, 1997; Steer, 2000), broken families (Heathcote-Elliott & Walters, 2000; Steer, 2000); drug use (Witt & Crompton, 1996; Goodman, 1999), unemployment (Long & Sanderson, 2001; Steer, 2000) and involvement in crime (Witt & Crompton, 1996; Martinek, 1997).

Urbane Corridor impact for North Brisbane

One of the key components of the AusLink process is the development of a strategy for each corridor of the AusLink National Network. A Corridor Strategy is a statement of the shared strategic priorities of the Australian and State/Territory Governments for the long-term (20-25 year) development of the corridor. Corridor strategies provide guidance to decision makers and project proponents formulating network initiatives and most importantly, inform development of the next and subsequent National Land Transport Plans.

Consistent with the spirit of AusLink, the Brisbane Urban Corridor Strategy is a collaborative initiative that is jointly owned by the Australian Government Department of Transport and Regional Services, and Queensland Departments of Main Roads and Transport. The strategy was prepared by a project team comprising representatives from these agencies and builds on planning work undertaken by the Queensland Government.

Fitzgibbon Due Diligence

Fitzgibbon site creates jobs

By Emily Eklund Bayside Star 14 Oct 2009

Work on the 114-hectare Fitzgibbon Chase site is well underway, with a public launch set for January, 2010. Civil works on the state government owned site started in May and the first two stages of the development were sold in six weeks by the Urban Land Development Authority (ULDA).

Federal member for Petrie Yvette D'Ath visited the site last week alongside State Member for Sandgate Vicky Darling to announce a $2.1 million federal government funding injection under the Australian Government's Jobs Fund.

Funding will be used to complete a new community centre and 2.7km of bushland walking trails at the Roghan Road development.

Ms D'Ath said the funding would create a further 100 jobs and traineeships at the site, in addition to the 500 estimated by Minister for Infrastructure and Planning Stirling Hinchliffe in July this year.

"Both projects will extend the Urban Land Development Authority's current work experience program with local schools and includes training opportunities for job seekers," Ms D'Ath said.

ULDA chief executive officer Paul Eagles said the Community Development and Enterprise Centre (CDEC) would deliver heath services, local community education programs and a broader range of social enterprises to assist the unemployment to develop skills and work experience to secure employment".

Construction of the CDEC will start in late 2010

EmploymentTaigum - FitzgibbonWhat industries do we work in? (Industry)2006 industry categories

Derived from the two Census questions, ‘[What] best describes the business of [your] employer?’ and ‘What are the main goods produced or main services provided by [your] employer’s business?’ and relates only to persons aged 15 years or more.

The Industry data identifies the industries in which the residents of an area work (this may be within the residing area or elsewhere). The Industry Structure of the work force is indicative of the skill base and (to some extent) the socio-economic status and industry structure of an area.

The industries that are prominent in an area are strongly related to a range of factors including:

· the economic base and employment opportunities available in the general region;

· the educational levels of the local population; and

· the working and social aspirations of the population.

Industries are classified by grouping businesses which carry out similar productive activities. The 2006 Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) provides the current framework for industry classification in Australia. This classification provides a contemporary and internationally comparable industrial classification system which includes information about “new economy” industries such as Information, Media and Telecommunications. As this is a new classification only 2006 data is available.

Time series industry data (based on the 1993 ANZSIC classification) is available in the tab above named 'Time series industries'.

The University's inspiration, within 2,000 years of Catholic intellectual tradition, summons it to attend to all that is of concern to human beings. It brings a distinctive spiritual perspective to the common tasks of higher education.

Through fostering and advancing knowledge in education, health, commerce, the humanities, the sciences and technologies, and the creative arts, Australian Catholic University seeks to make a specific contribution to its local, national and international communities.

The University explicitly engages the social, ethical and religious dimensions of the questions it faces in teaching and research, and service. In its endeavours, it is guided by a fundamental concern for justice and equity, and the dignity of all human beings.

Australian Catholic University has a primary responsibility to provide excellent higher education for its entire diversified and dispersed student body. Its ideal graduates will be highly competent in their chosen fields, ethical in their behaviour, with a developed critical habit of mind, an appreciation of the sacred in life, and a commitment to serving the common good.

The ULDA's role is to plan, carry out and co-ordinate the development of land in selected urban areas.

As well as planning and development assessment, the ULDA will also develop key sites and priority infrastructure within selected urban areas

Our vision

Vibrant inclusive communities

Our mission
