Abstract

The Western Australian government has committed itself to developing a sustainability assessment process for projects, plans, policies and programs, as well as legislation, Cabinet submissions, corporate plans and proposed government agreements. This article briefly reviews some of the challenges posed by sustainability assessment. It then presents an integrated approach for a process that could be implemented in Western Australia with minimal amendment to existing legislation and administrative bodies.
