Sustainable communities

As Australia faces a number of challenges, including water shortages, rising fuel costs, expanding population and insufficient land, resources and services to support it in a sustainable manner, there is a growing need to address these issues, adapt to change and plan for future needs.  The creation of sustainable communities is a timely response as they have a high degree of self-sufficiency, financial viability, social amenity and consideration for the environment.
