Strategic policies typically seek to manage the consumptive use of natural resources to improve a range of environmental variables. This article focuses on strategic policies which operate under national arrangements where the Australian Government has limited direct constitutional powers to regulate natural resource use, so resorts to indirect measures and financial incentives. While the extent to which such policies give effect to sustainable development principles is debatable, as is their appropriateness for achieving environmental gains, a number of strategic natural resource management policies have persisted in the national policy domain. These present opportunities for understanding good-practice policy-making for managing natural resources sustainably, and an evaluative framework is presented to this effect. Relevant inter-relationships and complexities for policy design and implementation are revealed with the intent of stimulating further enquiries and analyses of strategic NRM policies in the context of Australia’s federal system.","PeriodicalId":46081,"journal":{"name":"Australasian Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"28 1","pages":"267 - 286"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14486563.2021.1959427","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46573797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the widespread requirements for public participation have been criticised as rhetorical, it is deemed to have significant symbolic significance. The use of public participation to gather multiple perspectives expresses an intent to improve environmental decision-making and respond to increasing demand for a role in decisions that affect people’s homes, livelihoods, and communities. This research examines participant experience of public participation in the EIA processes undertaken for four proposed coal mining developments close to the small, remote cattle grazing community of Alpha, in Queensland’s Galilee Basin in the central west of the state. Participant experience is examined through the lens of competence in environmental decision-making, which asserts that, for public participation to be competent, participants need access to information and its interpretations. Participants in 25 semi-structured interviews described two major flaws in public participation in relation to the proposed projects: proponent control of project information, and the government’s ‘hands-off’ approach.","PeriodicalId":46081,"journal":{"name":"Australasian Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"28 1","pages":"287 - 304"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14486563.2021.1955023","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41401072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the program sought to embed koala aversion (the ability for a dog to avoid koalas) skills within one local government area. A total of 2013 dog owners were surveyed to assess program outcomes, with improved dog abilities observed following city-wide program implementation. Further evidence of program success was indicated in the process evaluation. Dog trainers and dog owners were satisfied, willing to recommend the program to other people, and they were willing to attend events in future.

These traits were analysed for large samples of feral cats at three sites widely distributed throughout Western Australia to encompass a range of habitat and climatic variables in order to improve methods large-scale aerial baiting control programs. Seventy-eight feral cats were collared with GPS data-logger/radio telemetry collars and predominantly tracked at one-hourly intervals for between 16 and 118 days. There was sufficient difference in the patterns of movement between sites to suggest that aerial baiting programs can benefit greatly by altering current delivery methods to increase the rate of bait encounter by feral cats. Although likely, further testing is required to determine whether these results can be extrapolated to other introduced predators (i.e. introduced canids) to increase the success of control programs for these species.","PeriodicalId":46081,"journal":{"name":"Australasian Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"28 1","pages":"220 - 235"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14486563.2021.1927211","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42542826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that newly constructed 6-Homestar dwellings are in the optimal relative humidity range mean 14 per cent of time in contrast to 17 per cent for new code-compliant dwellings (and six per cent for older vintage dwellings) in the damp winter months of June through August. This research documents that a particular green certification – 6-Homestar – may not deliver suitable humidity control, and that alternative certifications that stipulate airtightness levels and require active ventilation – such as Passive House – could be considered by policy makers interested in delivering low-carbon, warm, dry houses in New Zealand.","PeriodicalId":46081,"journal":{"name":"Australasian Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"28 1","pages":"126 - 148"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14486563.2021.1924300","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48524359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While both visitors and residents had similar values for park and campsite, and beach protection, residents valued beach protection as more important whereas visitors placed greater importance in protecting parks and campsites. Visitor values were higher for sites and beaches closer to metropolitan Melbourne.

Households that are self-sufficient for water present a space in which alternative relationships between water, comfort and convenience manifest. This article presents insights from a survey completed by 209 households that are self-sufficient for water in the Eurobodalla Shire, in regional New South Wales, Australia. The survey sought to understand practices, experiences, and perceptions of people who take responsibility for managing the capture, storage, consumption, and disposal of water at home. We found that most respondents rely on household-collected rainwater for all domestic purposes. Most drink rainwater, and many drink rainwater untreated. Respondents identified challenges of self-sufficiency, including running out of water, and infrastructure maintenance and failure. Notwithstanding these challenges, most respondents indicated that they enjoy living in a water self-sufficient home and would do so again in future. Most respondents moved to their non-mains water home for reasons other than being in control of water; adapting to water self-sufficiency was therefore a necessity rather than a choice. The results of this survey are significant as the water sector looks to diversify sources of domestic water to better adapt to uncertain futures.","PeriodicalId":46081,"journal":{"name":"Australasian Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"28 1","pages":"149 - 168"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14486563.2021.1919233","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41518770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mud crabs have not previously been included in ecosystem health report cards in Australia or elsewhere but have been suggested as environmental indicators for tropical coastal marine environments in Australia. Mud crabs support commercial, recreational and Indigenous fisheries and their biology is relatively well known. For these reasons and due to their local relevance, mud crabs (Scylla serrata) were selected for long-term monitoring and inclusion in a report card for Gladstone Harbour, Australia. Three mud crab measures were identified to reflect the variety of pressures across Gladstone Harbour: abundance, prevalence of rust lesions and sex ratio. A standardised field monitoring program was developed to allow for ongoing scoring and reporting of the multi-metric indicator. An indicator scoring (distance from benchmark) and grading methodology was applied to the indicator and refined over the two years of monitoring. This article provides a novel framework for monitoring and scoring mud crabs for management purposes or for use in report cards, and outlines the process of developing an indicator for an iconic crustacean species.","PeriodicalId":46081,"journal":{"name":"Australasian Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"28 1","pages":"188 - 212"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14486563.2021.1923579","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47388349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
