  1. Rest of the course • Only 3 lectures left - last lecture is on May 30th we expect you to come to this as key learning portfolio exercise of reflecting on best policy briefs • Next week last tutorial • Week after - May 20-22 you are giving your policy briefs • Extra session on June 2nd for anyone interested on getting a job in EPP

  2. Assessment reminders • You must all have by now been to a supertutorial and last round of facilitations are next week Remaining essay questions are: • Cultural Heritage - due by tuts May 13-15 “ What is cultural heritage? What should we keep? How should we decide?” • Indigenous issues - due by tuts May 20-22 “Why should Indigenous people be involved in EPP? What are the current barriers to their effective involvement and how can these be overcome?” • Regional Planning -due by may 27-29 “How can regional planning best contribute to sustainable environmental management?”

  3. Learning Portfolio • Due June 13th but get it in earlier if you can! Your learning portfolio MUST contain at least the following items: • 1) reflections on what you learnt in each tutorial (please supply an explanation if you miss more than two tutorials) on what you learnt. Your tutorial reflections should include the one you facilitate, so for this one you should reflect on both what you learnt about the topic and about the process of facilitating. • 2) reflections on what you learnt in the lectures (please supply an explanation if you miss more than two lectures). There are lots of examples of good learning portfolios from past courses on my webpage. • 3) all of your one page tutorial preparations (ie you have to hand in ones even for tutorials you missed) and your supertut one page summary • 4) reflections on your classmates policy briefs delivered in the last tutorial and last lecture. • 5) Plus two one page summaries of how two lectures/talks/seminars relate to EPP. Any of the panel sessions in SRES1001 can be used for these summaries.

  4. You must go to 2 relevant talks and summarise in one page or less their relevance to EPP • Hence all the emails I have been sending you about such talks • Seminar next Monday 12 noon Fiona Miller CRES seminar room - applicant for Geography lectureship

  5. Policy briefings to be given in week 11 tutorials • http://fennerschool-people.anu.edu.au/richard_baker/SRES3028/assessment/briefing_paper/index.html

  6. Cross-cultural communication is a key • Lynette Liddle’s “cultural midwife” concept • Need for two way learning • Non-Indigenous people learning to sit and listen • Quite acceptable not to answer a question in many Aboriginal contexts • Different etiquette - stranger sits on smoky side of fire - forces them to look away, not directly into the eyes of their host • Deal with conflict much more directly – Uluru eg

  8. Poor communication can have dreadful outcomes

  9. Environmental, Policy and Planning Regional planning

  10. Regional Planning - Lecture outline • Different ways of dividing Australia up • How do you make regional environmental planning work? • Trends in Australia towards regional approaches eg attempts to “scale up” Landcare and catchment management • Top-down v bottom-up regional processes - Regionalism v Regionalisation • Bioregionalism • Institutional arrangements to support sustainability

  11. Regional planning: last tut topic for good reason • Regional planning issue deliberately at the end of the course as it is such a fundamental issue and one that builds on so much that comes beforehand

  12. Key issues • Lots of ways to divide the world or any country up – key is to get the right “regionalisation” for the right issue • What are your ideas on key ways of dividing Australia up? • Some Australian egs

  13. Increasing push in policy documents in Australia towards regional planning

  14. 1987 • The Murray-Darling Basin Agreement • http://www.mdbc.gov.au/index.htm

  15. Total Catchment Management

  16. Murray-Darling Basin

  17. Regional planning at many scales with the MDB • Border Rivers agreement- NSW - Qld • SA- Vic agreement on groundwater • NSW-Victoria-ACT Alps agreement • smaller scale Catchment Management Boards- Lake Eyre Basin • Regional Landcare Groupings • smaller scale Catchment Management Boards, ICM, TCM - see www.dlwc.nsw.gov.au/care/cmb/

  18. 1992 • National Forest Policy Statement (NFPS) http://www.daffa.gov.au/forestry/policies/statement • paved the way for the Regional Forest Agreements http://www.rfa.gov.au and see http://www.daffa.gov.au/rfa/regions/map

  19. 2000 • OUR VITAL RESOURCESA National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality in Australia http://www.napswq.gov.au/

  20. National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality “Catchment/regions are the most effective scale at which to engage the community in addressing dryland salinity and water quality. The catchment/region units will underpin broader levels of management such as the Murray Darling Basin Salinity Strategy or State/Territory salinity plans” P2 A National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality, October 2000, Commonwealth Government of Australia

  21. Six priorities of the National Action Plan • targets and standards for natural resource management • integrated catchment/regional management plans • capacity building for communities and landholders to assist them to develop and implement integrated catchment/region plans, together with the provision of technical and scientific support and engineering innovations • an improved governance framework • clearly articulated roles for the Commonwealth, State/Territory and community • a public communication program

  22. 2004 • More ambitious regional planning exercises

  23. Developing regional boundaries • 56 regions have been identified across Australia for the purposes of determining natural resource management and sustainable agriculture priorities. • The boundaries for each region have been established by agreement between Commonwealth and State/Territory Governments. • The original assessment for selection of the NAP priority regions was made by the Australian Government. • This assessment was based on National Land and Water Resources Audit data

  24. OK - How do we make regional planning workSmall group work

  25. Group 1 - anyone who has worked for government – if you were in charge in a govt dept for assisting a regional planning exercise what are they keys to getting the process to be responsive to local needs? Group 2 – anyone who has lived in rural Australia – what are the keys for involving rural Australians in any regional environmental planning? Group 3- Indigenous facilitators – what are the keys to involving Indigenous people in any regional environmental planning? Group 4 - regional planning facilitators –what are the keys to defining regions that work? Group 5 - Landcare facilitators – how can landcare be scaled up? Group 6 - Anyone left - what are the key things this course has taught you so far on making regional environmental planning in Australia work?

  26. Establishing regional organisations • Each region has at least one 'regional body' formed to undertake the important job of managing and protecting their region's natural resources. • Larger regions may have more than one regional body. Where possible and appropriate, existing structures are being used.

  27. Developing integrated regional natural resource management plans • Regional plans are the basis for regional investment from both the Natural Heritage Trust and the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality, removing the need for individual project plans or applications in order to access different types of Government funding. • Regional bodies, State/Territory governments and the Commonwealth work together to develop an integrated natural resource management plan for each region.

  28. Different regions for different issues • Critical issue to work out the most appropriate region for particular issues • this is going to be different for most issues • Eg. airsheds and watersheds clearly different and requires appropriate planning divisions • Needs of different species need to be considered at different scales eg wildebeest, tourists, bears and wolves

  29. Some implications of this biogeographic regionalisation • Many zones with no protected areas • some zones are entirely Aboriginal land – strong factor in Indigenous Protected Areas being developed

  30. Scaling up catchment management boards/authorities • Upper Shoalhaven • Shoalhaven • Sydney south

  31. Cultural and catchment boundaries are usually different • catchment approaches can be top down and can be a cause of conflict • Braidwood Landcare egs • Araluen in or out? • CMC imposed – Landcare locally owned • Regionalisation of Landcare

  32. Scaling up landcare?

  33. Non-contiguous regions • Eg Aboriginal Dreaming paths • Montague Island and Gulaga (Mt Dromedary)

  34. Communities of common concern • Linking regions of common concern • Eg Albury City Council • South East Asia impacted by smoke haze • Everyone around the Indian Ocean in the path of the boxing day Tsunami
