also about community-involved programs, programs that are helping in the development and expansion of local organisations, clubs and small businesses. There is also the use of high-profile sporting stars as role models to work with the local schools and sporting teams, as well as in family programs and events. All of this is contributing to building a better community by raising the standards and values of the entire locality. The community spirit is alive and well in the New North. From Balga to Girrawheen, Koondoola to Westminster, the basic family principles of a safe and caring community are being reborn; in the home, in local halls, on sporting fields and in shops and businesses of The New North. There is a new sense of pride and enthusiasm in the neighbourhood as once old and tired communities find new life and vigour in what is being hailed as Australia'?s largest ever urban renewal project. Lifestyle The New North are unique inasmuch as they are rejuvenated areas which are surrounded by exceptionally well established community resources and facilities. As a consequence, residents of these wonderful New Living areas can enjoy the many fresh, new improvements and all the existing shops, medical facilities, parks, sporting clubs, schools and other community resources most brand new suburbs don't have for years.
