Title: Three Post-productive problems of transitioning into rural Australia and

what it brings for the rural communities and resource management.
 Introduction

Australia has a rural area percentage of only 13.88% which is evidently a very small percentage
of land to be used for agriculture to provide for an urban area of 87%. The climate of Australia is
said to be the harshest with a high probability of droughts, floods and other calamities. Hence
there is a scarcity of suitable land for agriculture and above that the rural area left is too small.
Australia is home to some the most dangerous and poisonous creatures on the planet which were
evolved in retrospect with their harsh climate for which rural areas where measures for security
need to take place such as guns for protection and some potent pesticides for their crops.
(TONTS & LARSEN, 2002, p. 138)

Secondly, the success of post-productive rural planning will be greatly affected by the growth
poles in those areas, these are companies that have grown large enough to take the size of a small
town with its employees the subsidiaries or complements of these companies also set up houses
and production buildings around them which in terms makes a small town. (Hancock & Wells,
2018, p. 323)

Thirdly, the government of Australia and the people make the choice of moving and switching to
rural areas. The people’s choice of what field they want pursue affects how much migration is
possible for instance, in creative fields such as art and music people are more likely to move to
rural areas where there are lesser crowds and more nature but in more professional fields such as
engineering and Business people are less likely to move and are more likely to stay in urban
areas where their jobs are mostly situated. (TONTS & LARSEN, 2002, p. 138)

Generally, Australia has only 10% to 13.88% of rural area and it is also an important resource. A
number of lands uses and landforms is situated in the rural area of Australia. The area between
Brisbane and Adelaide consists vast areas of native vegetation. For a source of fiber and food the
rural side of Australia is productive. The rural area between Brisbane and Adelaide side contains
vast resource of biodiversity habitat. (Hancock & Wells, 2018, p. 323)

However, there are some major problems on rural side of Australia, for example: - population
decline, agriculture decline, drought, flood and fire. The greater part of these issues emerges
from the Australian soils, water balance and climate and the traditional European farming and
grazing methods. The steady growing of population is putting an immense pressure on the rural
land. As more people seek a place to live in the rural land, it is being pressurized for subdivision.
There is a need to give a set-up of systems to guarantee that it is overseen and saved in a
maintainable way to fix the rural resources management. This set-up of systems should include
land use controls, incentives and other mechanisms. A procedure where food, fiber biodiversity
as well as lifestyle shall be balanced in a objective manner for the classification of rural land.

 Main Body

Low Rural area facilities

Australia’s low rural land, though there is a mainstream human rights view it tends to be to
evoke photos of atrocities, extreme poverty and extreme poverty Hunger inflicted by barbarous,
opposing dictators, it is now widely available to Third World communities, we have to
acknowledge that human rights problems also have an influence on Populations in democratic
western nations (1997, Sidoti). The moral attitude adopted by Western countries in their critique
of countries, like Australia, African and Asian human rights violations, for instance, there is
conflict with their historical abuse of as colonizers, human rights (Douglas and Douglas, It’s
1996). This was expressed in the forced situation in Australia’s withdrawal of young Aboriginal
children from their children Family with family. Although the campaign for human rights has
contributed to improving the well-being of people It has its detractors across the globe. Some
argue, because of the early conferences and conventions, for example, Declarations are
ethnocentric, Eurocentric and declarations are Androcentric, since they tend to discount cultural
debate and differences in gender among people in the world (2001 Mutua). Rather, the
provisions appear to be A set of Western male expectations are expressed, without taking into
account the numerous or additional Women's or non-Western priorities the Ethnic Community.
(Darwent, 1969, p. 11).

The connection of the dictatorship allows us to understand how it was to force people to move to
rural areas for work which was very cruel historically speaking which makes it all the more
important for the people to make their own when moving, hence incentives will play a big role in
rural planning.

Growth poles

An organization or sector that is distinguished by all three of the above traits, that is, a strong
high degree of superiority, and great scale, contact with many other corporations, A big
characteristic of growth pole notions, and one on one, is this poorly defined definition. Many
scholars lean for that. Its uncertainty and lack of clarification are, however, liable for a number
of explanations of the conditions that may exist in an economy, As a consequence of the
propulsive company’s-initiated operation. The following outline of the definition of, the
mechanics of polarization is a simplified one, Original formulation, but somewhat extended to
cover some of the concepts of other ideas Where these are relevant. (Darwent, 1969, p. 15) In
comparison, the a priori definition of the growth pole does not provide any interpretations of the
Location in the spatial space of a propulsive industry, or the effects of a propulsive industry.

The pole in geographical space has a precise location, as Aydalot He pointed out that in
considering, for example, the company Renault (automotive), The notion of polarization can
allow us to understand that Renault is a pole, but it does not talk much about Paris, which
happens to be its pole. Where. Place. The polarization method, says Hansen, "is not appropriate"
"To an unambiguous geographical position," a point of view on which we must agree. (Darwent,
1969, p. 22).

Critical to this paper's emphasis, the position of the capital cities atop the hierarchy of
settlements was consolidated by a peculiar trend of manufacturing and economic progress that is
implicit in colonial commerce. As the skeleton for the settlement scheme, transport infrastructure
was carried out in a way that effective drainage of gold, wheat, wool and meat is better
facilitated by the four main staples of industrial growth of the 19th century-from the regions to
the capital cities and the chief Stores. (McGuirk & Argent, 2011, p. 30)

The Government and the People

Latest demographic forecasts represent and underline the dominant characteristics of the
population. Along with the prevailing factors of transition, the Australian settlement system the
fifth one the argument that needs to be grasped is that net international migration would be the
dominant one. In spite of the recent rise in fertility, the engine of potential population growth is
Pace. 60 per cent of national demographic increase has been powered by 60 per cent of national
population growth in recent decades. Immigration is expected to continue, in this pattern
(Australian Government, 2010). This is a vital point, not least because medium- to long-term
accounting is A troublesome feature of the prediction approach is migration flows. As taken
from (McGuirk & Argent, 2011, p. 13).

The second significant argument is that while the exact direction of Projected demographic
growth varies by source and set of assumptions, both based on the source and set of assumptions.
Evaluations conclude that the majority of demographic growth will be captured by the
Significant towns, particularly the capital cities. In the past, immigration to Australia has been
flowing the big cities have been steadily centered for ten and a half years, with 89 percent of the
major cities Immigrants from post-1996 make their home there (Hugo, 2014, pp. 1–3). Although
the ratio Settlement has been constant in regional cities, with the proportion in the big cities by
2006, 79 per cent of those born abroad lived there, while only 7 per cent lived there. One
hundred lived in rural areas and (Hugo, 2008a). Despite the diversion of some Through DIAC's
State Specific and Geographic Migration, migrants from big cities Programs are expected to
perpetuate this pattern. (McGuirk & Argent, 2011, p. 13)

The massively disruptive effects of public policies to encourage inland growth has been
pervasive over recent decades. Settlement has been reached by the 'closer settlement' policy. For
various inland areas, One area of doubt that casts a pall on the future growth of their population
the increasing importance of agri-environmental control in the face of (and decline) the
tightening of environmental controls. This leads us to believe that Australia’s food bowls may be
less dependent on irrigation in the future, Given the massive disturbances that have already
arisen in many cities and areas, The Basin has already had two decades of farming practice in the
hands of All of the restructuring and the downstream manufacturing of food and fiber goods The
effect of the possible arrival of migration flows that have fueled out-migration flows On inland
demographic patterns, permanent cuts to river diversions would have uncertain trends. Given the
emphasis of this special edition, it could be more fitting to take into account the Adaptive
capacities of Australian food factories to adapt to a drier and absolutely drier climate More
unclear future and to try to have an increasingly increasing sustenance Population, regardless of
its distribution. (McGuirk & Argent, 2011, p. 13).
 Conclusion

In Conclusion, rural management of Australia needs to take its own course where the people
decide where they want to move as the people create cities, where the government can only help.
The low percentage of rural areas of only 13.88% is not a very promising aspect for Agriculture
to feed the remaining 90% Urban area population. Hence, in order to make better use of the
remaining land, greenhouses can be used to cultivate the niche Vegetables and spices that need a
special environment to grow while the larger mass produces like potatoes and rice can be grown
in these rural areas. There will be the overwhelming problem of location and transport as the
demand and supply of every product cannot be the same everywhere such as in Brisbane there
are a lot of historical museums and botanical gardens while in Adelaide there are a lot of art
galleries and creative aesthetics. This difference in location may have a toll. Moreover, the
success rate of rural planning also will be affected by the growth poles in those areas, for
instance the Tasmanian wool are best produced in Aklanda where the small city found there is
built under the foundation laid by the Tasmanian Wool center. This trust of employment has
been passed o for generations; Similar stories have been the foundation to many such cities. As a
result, these “City Companies” need to be into consideration before rural planning such taking
their needs into account and making sure the employees of these companies are not affected.
People with a Creative field of work will always have an interest in moving to rural areas and
people with a more professional field are likely to stay in more densely populated urban cities.
