Abstract

Sustainable resource development embodies a range of objectives relating to utilitarian values, such as infrastructure integrity and function, as well as biodiversity, amenity and cultural values. Unfortunately sustainability goals often remain only a vision as practitioners and managers struggle to translate ideals from the often well-established policy, legislative and management regimes into a practical reality at the project level. Statutory and community provisions and diverse technical requirements can only be satisfactorily achieved by integration throughout the project planning, design and implementation procedure. This paper presents the environmental engineer’s role in planning and design for sustainability, and illustrates the approach with examples from the natural resource management field.
