The EPA has released the State of the Environment Report for 2023, making a number of recommendations to help safeguard South Australia's environment, with a strong focus on climate change and biodiversity losses.This year, for the first time, the report has also incorporated the views of Aboriginal peoples as the traditional custodians in protecting and restoring Country, including an expert report and recommendations on how Aboriginal peoples' cultural perspectives can be more effectively incorporated in approaches to environmental protection.The State of the Environment Report 2023 provides information on key aspects of the environment, including: Climate, Air, Land, Water, River Murray, Sea and Liveability.The report provides recommendations to State Government to address the most significant environmental issues, and provides data and analysis to assist government, industry, and the community to take action to improve environmental outcomes.In this segment, we hear from Keith Baldry, Director of Science and Systems at the South Australian Environment Protection Authority, an independent government environment protection and radiation regulator. Dr Matthew Ward, Director of Science and Information at the Department for Environment and Water.

EPISODEIn this episode, Minh & Debbie discuss their thoughts (aka OPINIONS ONLY) about the implications on the changes to Improved Livability SDA design category following the recommendations from the recent NDIS Review. Given the concerned feedback from many providers, investors & developers  on social media about the repercussions of a proposed change, this episode truly will be an important milestone in the evolution of SDA for years to come.  They discuss the likelihood of the changes taking place, alternative options for investors to consider, and potential time frames for the implementation of any changes. For many investors who are already holding IL property within SDA, we 'think' they should be fine, and we don't see much of a change. For those that are already under construction, and will be seeking IL participants in the coming years (before the changes take place) we have our fingers crossed that they should slip over the qualification line. However, as to future IL property (way down the line) and future IL participants which are not approved before the recommended changes, we are a little unsure of what the outcome will be. This episode really is about the pros and cons, of the actions recommended for IL, and whether grandfathering rules are implemented. For now, it's a "wait and see" approach that developers and investors and potential SDA participants for IL funding, need to undertake. Again, we reiterate, its "OUR OPINIONS ONLY" on this important matter before us, and it will interesting to see how the NDIS & Minister Bill Shorten executes the changes to IL in the coming year(s).As the old saying goes, "hope for the best, but prepare for the worst"LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!--NDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:"To achieve confidence and success in property investment within the NDIS, it is crucial to ask the right questions and get the right answers.

As the weather heats up, people's attention is focused on re-engaging in fun summer activities like dairy breakfasts, county fairs and field days.  Stephanie Hoff talks with Kurt Afdahl, president of the Wisconsin Tractor Puller Association, about their summer itinerary.  He says that during the pandemic they saw an increase in membership and are planning for big crowds this year. We're a week away from the final phase of the Alice in Dairyland interview process.  Stephanie Hoff will be highlighting each of the six candidates before the finale on Saturday, May 21st.  Today she introduces us to Amber Cafferty – Fountain City. Liveability in retirement?  What does that look like and how can you find it in Wisconsin?  Pam Jahnke talks with Darrom Wasniewski, Associate State Director - Community Outreach for AARP Wisconsin about theirLiveability Index.  A tool that allows you to enter a simple zip code and find out the pro's and con's of a community in retirement. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How many times have you toyed with the idea of where you'd like to retire?  I'm guessing in the middle of winter those ideas get more serious, and the destinations perhaps a little farther south.  For many Wisconsinites, the goal is simply to stay where their at. Pam Jahnke visits with Darrin Wasniewski, Associate State Director- Community Outreach for AARP Wisconsin.  They've actually created an index that allows you to get a quick glance at any community you may be considering - and its "liveability index". Wasniewski explains how they arrive at the "liveability index" and what it tells you.  He also explains how AARP partners with organizations of all types to help create and improve those indexes across the state.

In Episode 25 of the Constructive Voices podcast, Henry McDonald speaks to Farah Naz, award-winning climate change strategist, in our International Women's Day special. Farah provides her professional and personal experience, with global insights, into where we stand in relation to the gender gap in the construction, engineering and architecture industries.Farah and Henry discuss her experience as a woman in the AEC sector, what we all need to do to address gender bias in the industry, and how we can look at gender diversity as an opportunity instead of a problem to solve.“The pandemic has actually showed us how new way of working and doing business. And we should be taking this approach, taking this is as an opportunity to really address the issues of gender diversity, to really address inclusion and diversity within our workplace, and also address how we can inspire the next generation.”“So I think it starts from not just women in the industry, but also the men, and anybody who is part of this industry to really engage more time and effort to actually go out and talk to the younger generation, talk to our children. It starts from our homes, to start creating that role model effect. And also explaining the power of this industry in creating a better, more resilient future.”“We really require a co-creative environment, collaboration and diverse thinking to resolve the climate emergency. It's not just women, or it's not just men, it's together.”“Because women have to play a lot of roles: a role of a daughter, a role of a friend, a role of a sister, or a mother. I think that wiring of brain kind of helps to women to look at all these climate diversity and challenges we have, and come up with a more collaborative way of co-creating the future.”About Farah Naz, Award-Winning Climate Change StrategistFarah Naz is an award-winning Climate Change strategist with over 20 years experience in the construction sector gained in the USA, UK, Southeast Asia and most recently the United Arab Emirates (UAE). She is a Chartered Engineer (UK), Fellow of CIBSE, LEED and WELL AP and Verified Research Expert for Dubai Future Foundation.

She leads Specialist Services with a focus on Sustainable Cities, ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and Urban Resilience for AECOM across the Middle East and Africa.Farah was a prime mover in creating the Energy Strategy for the first zero-energy building in the UK, which subsequently won the 2015 RIBA Sustainable Buildings Award (UK). In the Middle East, her name has become a synonym for implementable sustainability & energy strategy among others, linked to projects including Museum of the Future, the Louvre Museum in Abu Dhabi, the Bee'ah Headquarters in Sharjah, Expo 2020 Sustainability Pavilion, Masdar Eco Villa, Masdar Housing.

A report by Economic Confidential on annual states viability index 2020 has shown that Lagos, Nigeria's Financial Capital, with a sub-national gross domestic product in excess of $50.83 billion, is the most solvent and viable state in Nigeria year-to-date. For the fifth year running, the littoral state with aquatic resources has led in the Nigerian states' annual viability index. According to the ASVI computation, Lagos, which is by far an industrial behemoth, can pull along successfully without the monthly disbursements from the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee. But this is not the case with eight other states: Adamawa, Benue, Jigawa, Katsina, Niger, Taraba, and Yobe, described as economically insolvent and unviable, and cannot survive without the federal monthly envelope, due to their very low IGR accretion compared to their FAAC receipts.

@JanetBond   is the cofounder of @WattleRoad  which, based on this trend of people #movingtotheregions, was launched to guide to people considering this #lifechange, this #lifestylechange, and inspire them by talking to people who'd already done it. Through those stories, we hope that  people will know  what not to do, and what not to do.  The website is focussed on #regionalbusinesses #regionalproperty #regionalliving.It's best summarised as follows "it's as much about dreams and new beginnings, as it is about finding a house that you will love and a great school for your kids".Prior to that, she had an extensive career in business and commercial journalism, in both regional and capital cities for companies including #newscorp. Common in the publications was advocating for a city or town, helping to be really proactive about making sure it was a great place to live. But in 2019 she left the corporate world to start @WattleRoad after a chance discussion with a close friend who had recently moved to #Japarat - where #RobertMenzies was born.

Today we are digging into the Pyramid of Liveability and how it can create incredible wealth in real estate. There are magnets that pull people to certain areas, and the magnets in recent years have become increasingly related to lifestyle. With more people working from home, and with the smart economy creating more wealthy people, live, work, play, are the factors that are influencing people's decisions on where to live. In this episode, I talk about the three different lifestyle chasers to know as a real estate investor, and I talk about why the best real estate decisions are the ones that factor in traditional economics and behavioral economics.    On this episode -  1:56 - The economics every real estate investor should know  3:58 - The basics of the Pyramid of Liveability  6:16 - 3 distinct lifestyle groups  13:03 - Economic trends to follow as a real estate investor  15:27 - What the work from home movement means for real estate  16:36 - The hotelification of real estate  33:28 - The importance of mobility and accessibility  42:32 - Four forms of money    Don't hesitate to hit me up on Facebook @SamSaggers.

There's a lot to consider when going through the home buying process, one of the most significant being location. Location not only impacts price, and the scale of the investment, but also quality of life. So how can technology play a role in the decision making process when it comes to enhancing our quality of life? After all, technology has transformed the way in which real estate is build, bought and sold. In this episode, we're joined by Vincent-Charles Hodder, co-founder and CEO of Local Logic, and head of marketing, Jillian Ruiz. Local Logic is a real estate AI company providing an innovative approach to buying and selling by applying location based data and algorithms to change the way cities are built and real estate decisions are made. Tune in to hear our discussion on Canadian real estate in the pandemic era, infrastructure and its impact on local businesses, and factors in a neighbourhood that contribute to our quality of life.

Nina Stener Jørgensen and Maroš Krivý offer us the broader picture of the contemporary urbanist discourse of liveability and Jan Gehl's rise to prominence. In a tour de force, they walk us through Gehl's original work within the Danish welfare state of the 1960s, his indebtedness to the contributions of his wife Ingrid, his rise to stardom following Al Gore's liveability agenda, and why his success throws a shadow even on people like Richard Florida. The political responses to the Covid-19 situation show no significant disruption with the liveability discourse but possibly allow for a new round of implementations in public space. The presented critique situates the liveability approach in the context of neoliberal urbanism that posits equality while simultaneously remaining blind, if not covering up structural inequalities and social conflicts. In effect, the current Black Lives Matter protests against anti-Black racism confront this paradigm with the question: Liveability for whom? **Guests:** **Maroš Krivý** is Associate Professor and Director of Urban Studies at the Faculty of Architecture, Estonian Academy of Arts. He was previously a Research Associate in the Department of Geography, University of Cambridge. His work, situated at the intersections of urban geography and architectural history, has been published in journals such as _IJURR, Planning Theory, Architectural Histories, The Journal of Architecture, Footprint_ and _Avery Review_. Maroš contributed to a number of edited collections, including _Neoliberalism on the Ground_ (University of Pittbusrgh Press, 2020) and _Second World Postmodernisms_ (Bloomsbury, 2019). Nina Stener Jørgensen is a PhD student at the Faculty of Architecture, Estonian Academy of Arts, working on a thesis that investigates the intersection of Participation, Cybernetics and Urbanism in 1960’s western architectural discourse.

While we have reviewed 19 catamarans over the past year, we have never specifically discussed the features that are most important to us in a catamaran- our 'wish list' if you will. While we've made reference to the features that we'd like to see in our new catamaran, this is the first time we've actually sat down and listed them with an in depth discussion. We follow the same categories as our reviews: Safety, Build Quality, Liveability, Performance and Price. We hope you enjoy this podcast!Cheers, Nick & Terysa

In this episode of the Smart Community Podcast, I have a great chat with Karen Corr, a Community Engagement and Development Specialist and the Founder and Executive Director of Make a Change Australia. Karen and I met when we were on a panel together. We were talking about liveability at the Bendigo Invention and Innovation Festival earlier in 2019. In this episode, Karen shares with us her journey from being a Water Engineer to becoming passionate about culture change and how that led to her work with Make a Change Australia. We discuss the power of engaging with the “Smartness” of people that live in regional communities and harnessing their local knowledge for ownership of Smart solutions. Karen and I chat about why liveability is so important, and the need for equity of access to liveability, connectivity and accessibility solutions in small towns and regional areas. Karen tells us about the Ramp Up Resilience project that she's been working on, and it is just a brilliant example of how to integrate across disciplines, industries and sectors. Karen explains how much time and energy authentic integration and engagement actually takes, and why she should be investing in that more. We finish our chat discussing the emerging trends of changing the language we use to engage with currently unheard voices in our communities, and also of flipping the engagement conversation on its head so that it's community-led not government-led. This episode is part of the Spotlight on the Regions that we're focusing on for December. As always, we hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed making it.Find the full show notes at: www.mysmart.communityConnect with Karen via LinkedIn, or with Make a Change www.makeachange.org.au or @MakeaChangeAus on Facebook and InstagramConnect with me via email: hello@mysmart.communityConnect via LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook @SmartCommHQThe Smart Community Podcast is produced by Perk Digital.

The Australian city of Melbourne has been voted the world's most liveable city numerous times - but does that status make those of us who live here complacent about the city's long-term future? Professor Lars Coenen is the inaugural City of Melbourne Chair of Resilient Cities - an initiative between the City of Melbourne and University of Melbourne. The aim is to strengthen the city's resilience in the face of sustainability challenges like global warming. But key to creating a sustainable city is innovation, done in a purposeful way that contributes to our societies, cities and our regions. And that, says Professor Coenen, is where Australia needs to raise its game. Episode recorded: November 29, 2018. Interviewer: Steve Grimwade. Producer and editor: Chris Hatzis.

In this episode of the Smart City Podcast, I interview the CEO of Car Next Door, Will Davies. Will starts with discussing how he started to follow his passion for reducing our carbon footprint, and then how to utilise our resources better and how that fits into the Smart City space. We take a bit of a deep dive into car sharing and public transport attitudes as well as equal access to mobility. He has an exciting idea about how every new human could make the world a better place. We talk a lot about what Car Next door actually does, and finish our conversation talking about impacts on infrastructure and costs of autonomous vehicles, public transport and car sharing. As always I hope you enjoyed listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed making it.Find the full show notes: thesmartcitypodcast.comConnect with will via the website carnextdoor.com.au or email him atwill@carnextdoor.com.auConnect with me via email: zoe@thesmartcitypodcast.comConnect via Twitter and Facebook @smartcitypod

On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, Melissa Coade is joined by Allens partner David Donnelly. Forecasters say that by the 2050s, Australia's population will gain an extra 20 million people. According to ABS predictions, the nation could be looking at a population of 45 million in 2056. While a bigger Australia may mean a stronger economy borne from a larger workforce, infrastructure in every major capital city is already overstretched. David explains that if politicians and town-planners do not find an innovative solution for things like roads, rail, schools and hospitals, our reputation as one of the most liveable places in the world could be lost forever. He also talks about Australia's current social infrastructure deficit and what we can do now to catch up for the future. www.lawyersweekly.com.au

With Australia's population set to double by 2050, understanding the public health implications of urban planning is now more important than ever. Gretchen Miller sits down with Australia's leading expert in liveability, Professor Billie Giles-Corti, to talk about how urban planning profoundly influences population health, her ground-breaking National Liveability Study, and whether urban planners, with their huge influence on our health, should take the Hippocratic Oath to 'do no harm'.For more information on our work in this area visit preventioncentre.org.auHost: Gretchen MillerMusic: The Zeppelin by Blue Dot Sessions
