Priority B
Opportunities:
B. Accessing existing networks and relationships within the region and across the stakeholder
groupings to create a shared regional vision and progress youth outcomes
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.
3
Access existing networks and relationships within the region and across the stakeholder
groupings to create a shared regional vision and progress youth outcome collaboratively.
Challenges associated with this priority
include:


The region has a high dependence on
Small Medium Enterprises (SME)
clustered around Moggill and
Virginia/Banyo. The balance of the region
includes the CBD which hosts a variety of
national and state head offices. As a
result the region is a host employer
location with high movement into and
out of the region for work and education;
Chermside
A number of integrated employment
and residential Hubs are emerging at
Chermside, Kelvin Grove, Brisbane
Airport and the Urban Development
Land Authority (UDLA) sponsored
integrated developments at Fitzgibbon,
RNA and Hamilton Northshore;
BAC
Kelvin Grove

The region has grown significantly
in recent years with a
corresponding increase in school
age children as well as a daily influx
of school students who live outside
the region;

Fitzgibbon, Brisbane
7
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?

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).
Youth Engagement Spectrum
Disengaged Engaged with Risk
Under-Engaged

• 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

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
9
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.
10
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

Employment
Taigum - Fitzgibbon
What 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 socioeconomic 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'.

Urban Land Development Authority
The Urban Land Development Authority (ULDA) is a key part of the Queensland Housing Affordability
Strategy. It was established to help make housing more affordable and to deliver a range of housing
options for the changing needs of the community.
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
