NSW Regional Sustainability
Seminars 2004

RECENTLY UPDATED: Seminar Programs Now Available

Introduction

Sustainable development is no longer just a pleasant sounding idea – it is now an essential aspect for the long-term success of any social, economic or environmental development.

The NSW Government is therefore very pleased to organise this year’s tour of Regional Sustainability Seminars making the environment a key element of its job and economic strategies.

This year's round of Seminars will also coincide with the Year of the Built Environment which aims to enhance understanding about the issues of sustainability and the impact of the built environment on the natural environment.

The NSW Regional Sustainability Seminars have now run successfully every year since 2001. The delivery of positive sustainable initiatives from both government and industry has seen these events held in Wollongong, Port Stephens, Dubbo, Griffith, Coffs Harbour, Katoomba, Orange, Wyong & Queanbeyan. Averaging approximately 100 delegates per seminar, the evaluation has shown that involvement in this event is great value for money, has ongoing business advantages and brings substantial recognition to both the cities and host Councils.

Local government is again strongly represented with the involvement of host Councils Shellharbour, Lismore & Tamworth. Four NSW State Government agencies are organising this year's round of Seminars. They are: Department of Environment & Conservation; Department of Infrastructure Planning & Natural Resources; Department of State & Regional Development; and Department of Energy Utilities & Sustainability. The State owned corporation, Country Energy has agreed to be a sponsor of this years events.
