Reputational repair – Canberra’s bogan suburb

Research output: Non-textual outputs, including Creative Works › Creative Works - Original - Visual art works

Abstract

Kambah was planned as a 1970s utopia with a 28 hectare commons.
However, by 2009 journalist David Penberthy wrote of Canberra’s conception of Kambah as bogan central. Bogans are not known for their social capital. Does this bogan reputation make it harder to build and maintain community relationships and address our deepening climate crisis?
