摘要:

The article briefly outlines the history of the application of mediation to planning and environmental disputes in Victoria and more widely in Australia and overseas. The Muckatah Drainage Scheme is one of the largest public disputes to be mediated in Australia, with up to 40 people at the mediation representing over 400 individuals and several government agencies. The article outlines the background to the dispute, the premediation process, the mediation process itself and the agreement that was reached at the end. The significant challenges presented by this type of dispute are explored (for example, defining the boundaries of the dispute, managing the great variety and complexity of issues, satisfying the public interest, and incorporating mediation within the formal planning process) and some key findings are drawn about experience which may be applicable to the management of other environmental disputes. The Muckatah Drainage Scheme experience has demonstrated that a large, complex, multi-party planning and environmental dispute, set within the formal statutory planning process, is amenable to mediation.

摘要:

The article reports on a study undertaken in 1995 to assess camping impacts, campsite availability and usage along the eastern and northern coast of the Fraser Island World Heritage Area in South-East Queensland. Ground and air photo survey techniques were developed to provide an efficient and reliable means to monitor beach camping use and impacts along the more than 100 km of beach used for camping. Air photo surveys spanning 1974 to 1994 reveal a marked degradation of the coastal zone that can be attributed to camping use. Patterns of impact can be related to past and current patterns of visitor use. The results suggest that changes to current camping management strategies are required if the level of impact is to be reduced and World Heritage values maintained.

摘要:

In this article, the significance of the natural environment to Australia's tourism industry from the perspective of tourism operators is established. Features of Australia's natural environment are perceived to be the main generators of demand for tourism in Australia. Given this link between the environment and the prosperity of the tourism industry, the protection of the environment can, in principle, be ensured by self-regulation at the firm or industry level. However, there may be cases in which self-regulation alone is insufficient. In these cases, the government can impose regulations to deal with environmental degradation. The cases in which government regulation of the environment may be justified are identified in the article. In addition, the costs and benefits to tourism operators of current Australian environmental regulations are investigated. These costs and benefits are crucial determinants for the industry's willingness to comply with government regulations and hence the effectiveness of these regulations.
