Immigrant minorities play a continual role in transforming the built environment of Western Australia. Changing immigrant minorities have transformed suburban Northbridge from Little Megisti, Little Italy and Little Saigon to a failed Chinatown today. Often competing immigrant entrepreneurs and ethnic community groups fight for political favour to...
A cosmopolitan approach permits a more nuanced, complex and contradictory analysis of the impact of minority immigrants on Australia society, including their impact on the built environment. Cosmopolitanism necessitates an acknowledgement of the Indigenous history as well focussing sharply on the diversity (and sometimes conflict) within ethnic and...

The way Australian federal governments have approached Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment and welfare policy over the last two decades has been a paradigmatic example of what not to do in policymaking. In the absence of effective engagement or consultation, a series of decisions under Coalition and Australian Labor Party governments h...
Current policy often focuses on 'Overcoming Indigenous Disadvantage' by simultaneously addressing multiple deficits that many Indigenous people experience relative to other Australians. International literature often frames such issues in terms of the contested concepts of social exclusion and social inclusion. This paper attempts to analyse what I...
There has been comparatively little research on the relationship between immigrants and place in the context of rural and
regional Australia. Considering that immigration to regional and rural Australia has been given important national importance
we argue that the contemporary research on rural ethnic landscapes should be broadened to discuss the...
Non-Anglo-Celtic immigrants have transformed Australian rural landscape through the construction of public and private spaces expressing their cultural heritage. These sites can also significantly impact the dynamics of social cohesion and intercultural relations in multicultural rural communities. This chapter links heritage and multiculturalism i...

Recent years have seen a burgeoning interest in developing indicator frameworks for 'Indigenous wellbeing'. Implicit in each of the frameworks are particular conceptions of what constitutes the 'good life' for Indigenous peoples and what 'Indigenous development' should entail. In developing these frameworks, then, certain judgements must be made ab...

These sites can also significantly impact the dynamics of social cohesion and inter-...

The tourism literature places great importance on the cultural industries and the growth of cultural tourism in countri...
