Where do low-income private renters live?
No full textLow-income private renters are increasingly to be found in the middle and outer suburbs of Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, according to this Research and Policy Bulletin based on research by Bill Randolph and Darren Holloway
Youth homelessness in rural Australia
No full textYoung people facing or experiencing homelessness in rural Australia have very different experiences to their urban contemporaries. The Foyer model is one response that could help young rural people establish themselves, without relocating them to cities away from their support networks writes Bill Randolph in this AHURI research bulletin
An interim evaluation of the Miller Live 'N' Learn Campus
No full textBill Randolph and Helen Wood examine this innovative project, which provides accommodation and life-skills and training opportunities for young people in vulnerable housing situations. In general, the evidence from this interim evaluation suggests that the management and staff have done an excellent job in setting up the campus following a significantly delayed start and in the absence of any defined model in the Australian context to work from
Housing affordability, occupation and location in Australian cities and regions
No full textIn this positioning paper, Judith Yates, Bill Randolph, Darren Holloway and Dominique Murray introduce a project to test the impact of high housing costs on the workplace-home relationship for all workers. They identify \u27indicator\u27 groups in the workforce that might be seen to be typical of workers who are likely to experience real constraints on their residential location choices as a result of high cost housing in or around the places they work
Affordable housing, urban renewal and planning: emerging practice in Queensland, South Australia and New South Wales
No full textThis report reviews the new planning powers in New South Wales under the State Environmental Planning Policy and examines how planning and housing policy domains can work together to increase affordable housing supply and their effectiveness. Key findings: Most Australian jurisdictions have introduced specific planning initiatives for affordable housing since 2008. Nationally, there is a focus on supporting the growth of a new affordable housing sector and the potential role of the planning system in facilitating access to development opportunities for affordable housing providers. There is increasing use of government land or development authorities to facilitate land for housing supply in urban renewal contexts, with varying levels of mandate for including dedicated affordable housing for low and moderate income earners as well as wider affordabibility goals. At least three jurisdictions (NSW, Qld & SA) have introduced planning system incentives or bonuses to encourage affordable housing development, and this is foreshadowed in Western Australia. Five of the eight Australian states and territories refer to affordable housing, or housing diversity in their overarching planning legislation, opening the door for affordable housing to be considered when plans are made and proposals assessed, although further work is needed to operationalise specific planning mechanisms in most instances. Nationwide, this study has identified at least 20 specific urban renewal sites on which the planning system has contributed to the procurement of affordable housing for low and moderate income earners to rent or purchase. In NSW, a total of 3964 affordable dwellings have been delivered in urban renewal contexts through the planning system from 1995–2012, and schemes in Qld and SA have been steadily gaining traction.

Housing affordability, occupation and location in Australian cities and regions: final report
No full textThe research undertaken for this report was motivated by a concern that high housing costs in central city regions are excluding many lower paid workers from jobs in those regions. According to Judith Yates, Bill Randolph and Darren Holloway, claims that structural change has led to a re-urbanisation of the inner city regions of global cities and an increasing reliance on new economy jobs in the inner city regions are only partly correct. Although there is little direct evidence to support the claims of those who express concerns that employers in high cost areas such as the inner city cannot attract key workers because of housing affordability problems, there is evidence to support the claim that those who work in inner city areas and live there experience significantly greater housing affordability problems compared to those who work in the inner city but live elsewhere
Developing appropriate exit strategies for housing regeneration programmes
Full text linkKeith Jacobs, Kathy Arthurson and Bill Randolph present the findings of a project to review current practices and develop appropriate exit strategy models. Evidence strongly suggests that the longer the timescales allowed for the development and embedding of appropriate exit structures and strategies during the lifetime of the renewal project, the greater the likelihood of a successful transition beyond the end of the project
Resident participation, social cohesion and sustainability in neighbourhood renewal: developing best practice models
No full textThe key factors in promoting resident participation in renewal are community development approaches that start with local people, identify local issues and give residents the confidence and skills to influence their communities writes Bill Randolph.
Much of the debate and policy action involving area renewal, place management and strengthening communities through government action centres on the how the shelter and non-shelter aspects of renewal initiatives can be better coordinated to deliver better outcomes on the ground in disadvantaged communities. However, there is an increasing body of research and practice that suggests strongly that simply putting "Whole of Government" approaches in place in disadvantaged communities is not enough.
These approaches may well result in better service delivery outcomes on the ground. But they do not of themselves necessarily develop the critical benefits in terms of social cohesion and inclusion that these interventions, in part at least, aim to generate, or ensure that the positive impacts are sustained over the long term. Put simply, it is not possible to transform and strengthen communities over the long term without the community itself participating in the solutions - the top down approach of place management needs to meet the bottom up of community participation.
This research aimed to explore the critical role to be played by effective community participation in ensuring the long-term sustainability of urban and neighbourhood renewal programs in Australia, by examining current experience in Australia and drawing on best practice examples overseas
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
