The Purpose for Being

The aim is to inspire, motivate and influence people across the community, the private corporate sector and in government – Federal, State & Local – to not only become involved in creating sustainable communities but engage with the sustainability concept.

Creating a high quality of life should be a shared goal of a community, the governments that represent the people within them, the people who live in them and the businesses that serve them. There are many factors that contribute to more livable, sustainable and desirable communities, the essential elements are:
• a healthy environment;
• a vibrant economy; and
• a community that is inclusive, safe and effectively governed.

In order to assist create such communities the concept of sustainability or sustainable development is increasingly winning people's attention. This approach to community development started to have currency in 1987 when the UN World Commission on Environment and Development coined what was to become the most well-known definition: sustainable development is development that "meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Quite simply, sustainability focuses on providing the best outcomes for both the human and natural environments now, and into the indefinite future.

Like communities elsewhere, Tasmanian communities – urban & rural – are facing an uncertain future. Therefore it is timely that individuals, community groups and businesses start to build mutually beneficial network links towards achieving more sustainable communities and community networks.
