Elaborations

• researching methods implemented in Australia and Europe to improve the liveability of a place, and evaluating their applicability to their own locality (Skills: Literacy, Numeracy, Critical and Creative Thinking, Ethical Understanding)
• developing a specific proposal to improve an aspect of the liveability of their place, taking into account the needs of diverse groups in the community, including young people (for example, through fieldwork in the local recreation area) or traditional owners (for example, developing bilingual signage or Indigenous garden projects in the local area) (Skills: Literacy, Numeracy, Critical and Creative Thinking, Personal and Social Capability, Ethical Understanding)
• discussing the impact of housing density on the liveability of places (Skills: Literacy, Numeracy, Critical and Creative Thinking, Personal and Social Capability, Ethical Understanding, Intercultural Understanding)
• examining whether liveability and environmental sustainability can be enhanced at the same time)
