Susstanablity management and urban planning in Australia

Obstract
Sustainability involves only using resources at a rate which allows them to be
replenished to ensure their long-term survival and not exceeding the
environments ability to absorb pollution Economic progress is measured in
terms of economic activity (GDP). technology is advancing day by day;
technology needs to be sustainable like organization can use renewable
resources and energy to produce non toxic and non bio degradable waste.
Sustainability is not only about preserving environmental assets, but also
social and cultural ones. To be sustainable business companies must engage
citizen in developing sustainable societies. Companies must participate in
the interaction of stakeholders, employee and unions. Australia has
important in the future sustainability of Australian cities. Australia is one of
the most highly urbanised societies in the world.
in New South Wales (NSW) is principally controlled under the provisions of

Australia urban planning is primarily directed by the Western Australian
Planning Commission, a statutory authority of the Government of Western
Australia. and implementing legislation is the The Environmental Protection
Act 1986 and the Planning and Development Act 2005. Climate change is an

organizations seek to implement sustainability strategies which provide them
with economic and cultural benefits attained through environmental
responsibility.

sustianblity
The definition of sustainability states that Sustainability involves only using
resources at a rate which allows them to be replenished to ensure their longterm survival and not exceeding the environments ability to absorb pollution
The following is a list of considerations economic, technological,
environmental, socio-cultural and political that businesses need to take into
account in the management of sustainability
Economic consideration:

Economic progress is measured in terms of economic activity (GDP). So in

suitable world the quality of economic is the key issues which meet the real
needs by respecting the environment for sustainability more employees are needed
to be trained and educated from environmental priorities.
Technological consideration:
Technology is advancing day by day; technology needs to be sustainable like
organization can use renewable resources and energy to produce non toxic
and non bio degradable waste. Organization can increase recycling and can
become more sustainable by using the resources and energy in optimal. For
example video conferencing allows people to conduct meeting from home so
it reduce travel costs and save time.
Environmental consideration:
If we see the environmental issues that are facing nowadays such as agricultural lands and
tropical forests are suffering damage for the sake of profit or cutting the wood for fire in most of
the countries so these issues are to be addressed in order to attain sustainability
For example, at a local level, air and water quality are already suffering, and global emissions of
carbon dioxide may cause serious damage through global warming if we exceed the absorptive
capacity of the biosphere.
Social and cultural consideration.
Sustainability is not only about preserving environmental assets, but also social and cultural
ones. Poverty is still a fundamental source of un sustainability wherever it is present.
Sustainability means meeting basic needs and tackling poverty. Consumption patterns will need
to focus much more directly on quality of life rather than standard of living. Sustainable
consumption will need to respect environmental, social and ethical norms, while meeting real
needs for food, housing, transport, education, entertainment and fulfillments.
Political consideration
To be sustainable business companies must engage citizen in developing sustainable societies.
Companies must participate in the interaction of stakeholders, employee and unions. Companies
must follow sustainable practices they should communicate with stakeholders today decision
making are too much complex consumers do not have the necessary information to make
products choices in favor of responsibility

Tata steel is steel producer in Europe. Corporate citizenship is the core value of Tata. they are
tackling the challenges of sustainability they are protecting community as well as environment .
Tata steel have its own standards which meet the international standards such as ISO14001.
Environmental protection is the central principle of Tata group they operate business activity in
such a way to protect the environment as well as society to be a corporate citizen and corporate
socially responsible business. (The time 100 business case studies)
Corporate sustainability : is a business approach that creates long-term consumer and
employee value by creating a "green" strategy aimed toward the natural environment and taking
into consideration every dimension of how a business operates in the social, cultural, and
economic environment.
Urban planning in Australia and sustainability management
Australia has important in the future sustainability of Australian cities. Australia is one of the
most highly urbanised societies in the world. Continued population growth in Australian cities is
placing increasing pressure on infrastructure, such as public transport and roadways, energy, air
and water systems within the urban environment. Australian cities and urban centres,
particularly capital cities, experienced significant growth after World War II, which was largely
driven by a combination of rapid economic expansion, high birth rates and unparalleled levels of
immigration, Urban planning in Australia is a distinct, defined profession, represented by a peak
industry group called the Planning Institute of Australia. Similarly, urban planning activities in
Australia are codified in law, with a significant body of legislation and case law guiding planning
principles and decisions.
Land use planning in New South Wales (NSW) is principally controlled under the provisions of
the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act). The EP&A Act establishes a
number of key planning considerations in NSW, including:The role of the Minister for Planning
in NSW, as well as the administrative functions of the New South Wales Department of
Planning; Given that urban planning in NSW is codified through specific legislation, there is a
dedicated Land and Environment Court of New South Wales to deal with urban planning
disputes.
In Western Australia urban planning is primarily directed by the Western Australian Planning
Commission, a statutory authority of the Government of Western Australia. and implementing
legislation is the The Environmental Protection Act 1986 and the Planning and Development Act
2005.
Population growth and demographic change is a key consideration for Australian urban planning.
Data in the 2006 census in Australia indicates that over 75% of all Australians live in 17 cities
each with a population size of over 100,000.[19] The five largest cities of Sydney, Melbourne,
Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide contain the majority (60.8%) of urban Australians.[19] Transport
emissions have been reported as one of strongest areas of emissions growth in Australia, which is
a consequence of the distance separating many land uses, and of the underlying low density form
of many Australian metropolitan areas. High density living in Australian cities is limited to the

inner urban cores of major metropolitan areas, and is substantially less dense than comparable
cities in Asia and Europe. Typically most urban housing development focused on a single one
level house (although this is changing) on a separate block of land.
Climate change is an important factor in the decision making process for urban planning in
Australia because of the highly urbanised population prone to extreme weather patterns.
Australia's urban areas are susceptible to changes in the climate because of the physical
construction of the built environment, infrastructure, and its ecological correlation with the urban
ecosystem Urban planning in Australia in the 21st century now has very strict guidelines to
follow and heritage is of fundamental significance in the decision making process before any
construction takes place. As developers now know there will always be people watching and
ready to protect Australia's cultural history
Some of Australia's urban problems such as road congestion and pollution could be solved by the
improvement of public transport, as it is a crucial aspect in creating a functional, sustainable city.
The urban structure of Australian cities consists of dispersed suburbs and dense central building
districts which creates immense planning challenges for decision makers. Urban planners now
realise the need to integrate active and sustainable public transport with destinations accessible to
alternative modes of transport such as cycling and walking to encourage people to reduce the
stress of cars on the roads.
Conclusion
Companies must participate in the interaction of stakeholders, employee and
unions. Australia has important in the future sustainability of Australian
cities. Australia is one of the most highly urbanised societies in the world.

strategies which provide them with economic and cultural benefits. Promote the
wise use of wetlands as a means of achieving sustainable urban and periurban communities

Recommendations
Sustainabile organization should implement sustainability strategies which provide them
with economic and cultural benefits. Through "implementing sustainability strategies,
firms can integrate long-run profitability with their efforts to protect the ecosystem,
providing them with opportunities to achieve the traditional competitive advantages of &
cost leadership and market differentiation via environmental responsibility

 Sustainable business organizations should participate in environmentally friendly or

green practices in order to all processes, pr oducts, and manufacturing activities .
Sustainable community organizations should encourage and cultivate collaborative
comunity projects and education programs that improve connections between businesses,
institutions and the public with their communities, the natural environment, and each
other. For example, the Sustainable Community Initiatives organization:

Promote the wise use of wetlands as a means of achieving sustainable

urban and peri-urban communities. Where possible, avoid further
degradation or loss of wetlands as a result of urban development or
mitigate the impacts. Any residual impacts should be appropriately
compensated for by offsets such as wetland restoration. Involve local
communities including Traditional Owners, in urban and peri-urban
spatial planning and wetland management decisions.
