TOTAL ENVIRONMENT CENTRE,
DIRECTOR |

Landcom has a foot
in both camps – the old development ethic and
the new environmentally sustainable approach. There
is a natural tension about this, not only internally
at Landcom, but also in its dealings with the development
sector, which sometimes seems to think that environmental
sustainability is just an option.
|
| |
 |
| |
Landcom needs to continue its efforts to be a leader
in environmental sustainability, and the government and
the community need to support the Corporation, rather
than send mixed messages in their planning and purchasing
behaviour. In the past two years Landcom has certainly
invested further effort in the environmentally responsible
path, but it continues to face big challenges. |

AUSTRALAND, MANAGING DIRECTOR |

When Australand started
working with Landcom in New South Wales it was like a
meeting of minds. We told them how we approach things
in other states and they were very supportive. What we
do fits almost perfectly with their philosophy on sustainability. |

LA PEROUSE ABORIGINAL LAND
COUNCIL, SITE OFFICER |
| |
The archaeological management
plan Landcom put in place to ensure that significant indigenous
sites were mapped and given due respect has helped protect
our heritage at Prince Henry. |
| |
 |
| |
Prince Henry in modern times is significant in that
many of our community worked here and were patients for
generations. Prior to that the coastline was in constant
use and we’ve discovered five major walking tracks
into the area. There’s evidence of ochre being recovered
for body painting in Little Bay, as well as large shell
middens, axe grinding grooves and engravings. Landcom
has been great. They are easy to work with and there have
been no problems. |
