Penfield, South Australia
Penfield is a northern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia, in the City of Playford. William Penfold, one of the first settlers in the area, subdivided land he had bought in the Hundred of Munno Para in 1856 to create the township of Penfield. The area was commonly known as Peachey Belt or Peachy Belt. The boundaries have changed over the years, the original township being overshadowed by the government acquisition of land immediately south of the early town centre since the 1940s for construction of military facilities such as the Penfield munitions factory. As a result, much of the modern peri-urban locality of Penfield is used for industrial purposes rather than residential and the original town centre is no longer a population centre. The remaining part of the Zoar Bible Christian Church, built in 1855, is the small cemetery. History Before European settlement, the Kaurna people inhabited the land. The district was surveyed in 1849, as part of the Hundred of Munno Para. Ear ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Enfield High School, South Australia
Enfield High School was a high school at Enfield, South Australia. It opened in 1953 and closed in 2010, its functions being absorbed into Roma Mitchell Secondary College. History When Enfield High School opened in 1953 in its present site, but on the eastern boundary, it was the first high school in the northern suburbs. Until then the only options were Adelaide High and Nailsworth Technical School.

These students came by train to Kilburn and then on to the school by bus or on foot. It has been said that some intrepid students came all the way on horseback and tied their horses up to the water troughs on the western side, where the main building once stood. Originally the school consisted of two brick buildings, toilets and shelter areas, and two 'temporary' portable wooden buildings. ...

Public Housing In Australia
Public housing in Australia is provided by departments of state governments. Australian public housing (commonly referred to as "Housing Commission") operates within the framework of the Commonwealth-State Housing Agreement, by which funding for public housing is provided by both federal and state governments.

Housing advocates have urged construction of new public housing dwellings to meet the rising numbers of families seeking public housing. Existing public housing stock has been severely underfunded, and older buildings demolished. There are also moves towards privatisation and transition into community and social housing models, reinforced through government policies which aim to s ...
