Supplementary Information Files for Socio-economic groups moving apart: An analysis of recent trends in residential segregation in Australia's main capital citiesWe study changes in the spatial distribution and segregation of socio-economic groups in Australia using a new data set with harmonised census data for 1991 and 2011. We find a general increase in residential segregation by education and occupation groups across the major capital cities in Australia. Importantly, these trends cannot be explained in general by changes in the demographic structure of groups and areas but rather by the rise in the over and underrepresentation of groups across areas. In particular, our analysis reveals clear diverging trends in the spatial configuration of high and low socio-economic groups as measured by their occupation and education. Whereas high-skilled groups became more concentrated in the inner parts of cities, the low-educated and those working in low-status occupations became increasingly overrepresented in outer areas. This pattern is observed in all five major capital cities, but it is especially marked in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Ultrashort-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are an emerging class of contaminants that remain underexplored in environmental research. This study examines their distribution in Australian drinking tap water, environmental waters, and wastewaters (n = 63) using nontarget analysis via high-resolution mass spectrometry. Thirteen ultrashort-chain PFASs were identified, including novel compounds such as perfluoroalkane sulfinate (PFPSi), hydrogen-substituted perfluoroalkyl carboxylate (H-PFCA), chloro-perfluoroalkanesulfonate (Cl-PFSA), and bis-perfluoroalkyl sulfonamide (bis-FASIs). Perfluoropropanesulfonic acid (PFPrS) was the most prevalent, detected in 83% of surface, groundwater, and wastewater samples, and in 67% of tap water samples from major Australian cities. Concentrations of PFPrS and perfluoroethanesulfonic acid (PFEtS) ranged from

Thirty Minute City and Metro Strategic Centre Catchments is a foundation of the Future Transport Strategy. Thirty Minute City establishes a metropolitan transport network which reinforces the metropolis of three cities, particularly the delivery of a 30-minute city where most residents in each city can access their metropolitan centre or cluster within 30 minutes by public transport. Metro Strategic Centre Catchments develops a network of 34 strategic centres with jobs, goods and services supported by a public transport, walking and cycling network. This would provide residents with a 30-minute public transport service to their nearest strategic centre seven days a week. The image below shows the thirty minute city catchments to the different strategic centre catchments. The Thirty Minute City and Metro Strategic Centre Catchments Document provides you with detailed information regards the background of this initiative and the datasets used.

Macquarie University and the City of Ryde Council installed pedestrian-counting sensors throughout Macquarie Park, as part of a project to ease congestion in the growing education, residential, retail and business hub.

The pedestrian counters monitored pedestrian flow and blockages, and the data will be used to improve safety and connectivity to transport services.

Historical transport, parking and pedestrian data are consolidated on an open-source platform to inform planners and local businesses across Macquarie Park.

This way, they can convert physical money into digital currency. Australia was ranked as one of the leading countries worldwide in terms of Bitcoin ATMs.

This dataset is the Greater Capital City Statistical Area (GCCSA) boundaries as defined by the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS): Volume 1 - Main Structure and Greater Capital City Statistical Areas, July 2011. For the original data and more information, refer to the Australian Bureau of Statistics' Issue. The ABS encourages the use of the ASGS by other organisations to improve the comparability and usefulness of statistics generally, and in analysis and visualisation of statistical and other data. The Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) brings together in one framework all of the regions which the ABS and many others organisations use to collect, release and analyse geographically classified statistics. The ASGS ensures that these statistics are comparable and geospatially integrated and provides users with an coherent set of standard regions so that they can access, visualise, analyse and understand statistics.
