Some interesting info about
Canberra. Canberra is the capital city of
Australia. With a population of over 345,000, it is
Australia's largest inland city and the eighth-largest city
overall. The city is located at the northern end of the
Australian Capital Territory (ACT), 280 km (170 mi)
south-west of Sydney, and 660 km (410 mi) north-east of
Melbourne. A resident of Canberra is known as a "Canberran".
The site of Canberra was selected for the location of the
nation's capital in 1908 as a compromise between rivals
Sydney and Melbourne, Australia's two largest cities. It is
unusual among Australian cities, being an entirely planned
city. Following an international contest for the city's
design, a blueprint by the Chicago architects Walter Burley
Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin was selected and
construction commenced in 1913. The Griffins' plan featured
geometric motifs such as circles, hexagons and triangles,
and was centred around axes aligned with significant
topographical landmarks in the Australian Capital Territory.
The city's design was heavily influenced by the garden city
movement and incorporates significant areas of natural
vegetation that have earned Canberra the title of the "bush
capital". The growth and development of Canberra were
hindered by the World Wars and the Great Depression, which
exacerbated a series of planning disputes and the
ineffectiveness of a sequence of bodies that were to oversee
the development of the city. The national capital emerged as
a thriving city after World War II, as Prime Minister Robert
Menzies championed its development and the National Capital
Development Commission was formed with executive powers.
Although the Australian Capital Territory is now
self-governing, the federal government retains some
influence through the National Capital Authority.
As the seat of the government of Australia, Canberra is the
site of Parliament House, the High Court and numerous
government departments and agencies. It is also the location
of many social and cultural institutions of national
significance, such as the Australian War Memorial,
Australian National University, Australian Institute of
Sport, National Gallery, National Museum and the National
Library. The Australian Army's officer corps are trained at
the Royal Military College, Duntroon and the Australian
Defence Force Academy is also located in the capital.
As the city has a high proportion of public servants, the
federal government contributes the largest percentage of
Gross State Product and is the largest single employer in
Canberra. As the seat of government, the unemployment rate
is lower and the average income higher than the national
average, while property prices are relatively high, in part
due to comparatively restricted development regulations.
Tertiary education levels are higher, while the population
is younger. |
