Augusta-Margaret River Sustainable Future
I’m down in Margaret River for the weekend, along with half the population of Perth, enjoying cooler weather and that whole wine-beach-food thing we love.
Half the population of Perth. It sure seems like it on these big holiday weekends. Is it sustainable? Probably not.
However, the CSIRO and the local shire are working on a two year partnership focussed on helping to create a sustainable future for the region.
Augusta-Margaret River Sustainable Future is an initiative that will involve the whole community in planning for the future.
Over the next two years, the Shire and community of Augusta-Margaret River will be working with CSIRO to develop a better system for making decisions that
affect how the region develops into the future.
Our aim is to ensure Augusta-Margaret River remains a vibrant region with a great quality of life for all.
More at the Augusta-Margaret River Sustainable Future website.
This is going to be an very interesting pilot project. When you think about the mix of diversity of views about what sustainability means in and around Margaret River (to sustain traditional farming life, freedom to grow and ‘develop’, conservation of unique natural environment, sustainability of an industry in over-production etc) which future is the one that is to be sustained. Add to this mix CSIRO’s vision of what sustainability means, and what should be a simple model for sustainability governance becomes a real litmus test of the tough issues in sustainability – especially concerning the role of community consultation and visioning in planning governance – unity in diversity? Only if done with real fore-thought.
