Major Change IN Earlwood, Clark ST.
The face of Earlwood has changed in many ways, since the beginning of Earlwood. However in the past 10 years, I believe we have seen the most change, and in particular the Earlwood main shopping street, or Clark Street. Clark street has changed in many ways in the past 10 years, for example a great expansion to the Coles Supermarket, located on Clark Street, or the expansion of the shopping area itself, with a new physiotherapist taking the spot of a couple of houses or a new cafe, which is more relevant to today’s times, is taking the place of a video store which is unneeded in a day and age like this one.
The reasons for these changes are plenty in number, however, there are a few main reasons. Firstly, Earlwood was becoming a rundown neighbourhood and everything just needed a revamp. Secondly, as more people came to live in Earlwood there needed to be a greater supply of essentials and a greater range for these too. Thirdly, some businesses were not required anymore like the police station, which was shutdown as Earlwood became a safer place to live. Fourthly, the businesses that shutdown would be replaced by luxury businesses as Earlwood became a more expensive place, therefore bringing wealthier people. |

The change to this neighbourhood and Clark Street hasn’t really impacted the local community. However it has brought families to Earlwood through the creation of jobs. The change to Clark Street has also given the community a sense of community, in the way that it has sort of become a central hub for people in Earlwood, to do basic things. Like buying groceries or socialising or buying clothes. A negative effect that the change has on Clark Street has brought to the community is the increase in congestion. The congestion on Clark has risen greatly in the past ten years and will probably continue to rise. In addition, the reason why a increase in congestion is a negative is because it creates an unhealthy environment, with air and noise pollution being factors to that point.
So the change to Clark Street can be viewed in two different perspectives. The first one being, that you could see this change as an extreme negative because the noise pollution and air pollution will rise, as well with the congestion on Clark Street. The other perspective to this change would be one of great pleasure and excitement as you see your town grow and flourish. This perspective would be astounded that more families are coming to Earlwood and more jobs and wealth are coming as well. This perspective will be grateful that the needs of all people in Earlwood will be fulfilled with expansions to supermarkets and more fruit shops and bread shops open.
