Aspects of a Community

There are a number of aspects can be influenced to achieve best practice sustainable community outcomes, including:

1. Infrastructure: the systems and services which supply our energy and water, manage our waste, communications, technology and provide for mobility.
2. Buildings: the built form that accommodates our activities associated with working, living and playing, both public and private.
3. Open space: the areas accessible to the public.
4. People: those who own, rent, occupy, visit, work, reside, recreate or interact in our communities.
5. Ecology: the biological systems within the natural environment.
6. Economy: the systems supporting the production, exchange, distribution and consumption of goods and services.
7. Governance: the rules, behaviours and structures that shape and influence communities.
