Doonside

Doonside is often associated with the gang HS (where Hooligan Hefs is from).

Doonside (Early Years)
Doonside's early history has mostly been forgotten due to the increase in attraction in the recent years. Many people disregard the fact that the infamous Doonside Mural was painted in 2002 by a group of 3 people - the same year that youth-gang violence was [debatably] at its peak, with most nights in neighbouring suburbs receiving 1-3 police calls regarding gang violence. The most active gang during the time 2000-2015 was HS, a gang that consisted mainly of teenagers from Doonside and its neighbouring suburbs. It is widely accepted that HS had rivalled an neighbouring gang, NF14 (present day ONEFOUR), however both groups initially were on good terms, but it was only due to a dispute that caused the rivalry.

Doonside (Present)
Modern day Doonside has remained relatively the same, however there has been a decrease in crimes within the suburb which is mainly due to a harder crackdown by the state. Youth-gangs are still a big issue within the suburb, with many youth-gangs present within the town. This increase in youth gang-related violence is due to the rise of the local rapper, Hooligan Hefs, an early member of the now disjointed group - HS.
