Planning lanning wit ith h Uncer Uncertaint ainty

Precautionary Principle

Principle 15 of the Rio Declaration states that:

Where there are threats of serious or irreversible environmental damage, lack of full scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing measures to prevent environmental degradation (UNCED, 1992)

Key components:

  • taking preventative action when uncertain;
  • making sure the advocates of an activity are responsible for the

burden of proof;

  • investigating a wide range of possibilities and alternatives.

(Kriebel, et al., 2001)

Principle of Subsidiarity

Pre-requisite for sustainable decision-making: Maximum transfer of power down the

bureaucratic hierarchy

The Integration Principle

Decision making processes should effectively integrate both long term and short term economic, social and environmental outcomes to recognise and build on the distinctive characteristics of urban places and regions, including their human and cultural values, history and natural systems

Integrated Planning Act 1997 as amended

Principle of Ecological Sustainable Development (ESD)

ESD defined as: ¡“using, conserving and enhancing the community’s resources so that ecological processes, on which life depends, are maintained, and the total quality of life, now and in the future can be increased” (CoA, 1992a: 60: 6)

Sustainable Planning Act 2009 as amended Planning Act 2016: Ecological sustainability

The Biodiversity Principle

The intrinsic value of biological diversity and ecological integrity should be a fundamental consideration in decision making and the characteristics of ecosystems build on in the development and nurturing of healthy and sustainable urban and regional landscapes

Principles of Resilience

Def efinit inition: ion: Resilience is the capacity of a system to absorb disturbance to undergo change and still retain essentially the same function, structure and feedbacks. A Res esilience ilience Appr pproac

h (Par aradigm) adigm) requires a planning perspective that accepts:

  • 1. “Limits to Growth”
  • 2. “Carrying Capacity”
  • 3. ecological footprint
  • 4. thresholds (tipping points);
  • 5. system redundancy; and
  • 6. the need to adapt

1. Acknowledge a “values-led” planning approach (incorporate community viewpoints) 2. Incorporate a “science informed” (“evidence based”) planning approach 3. Plan at the “Landscape Scale” 4. Embrace a strategic (long term) planning approach 5. Move towards ‘Joined–Up’ (integrated ) planning 6. Link planning to investment (integrate infrastructure planning including environmental infrastructure) 7. Employ a cyclic (continuous) planning process 8. Incorporating an adaptive management framework (plan for uncertainty) 9. Plan with high levels of community engagement

  • 10. Overarch planning endeavours with ‘Best Practice Principles’ (Precautionary Principle; Principle of

Subsidiarity; Integration Principle; Principle of Ecological Sustainable Development; Biodiversity Principle; Principles of Resilience)

Back to the Future: Some “KILLER” issues for planning towards a Sustainable Moreton Bay Environs

A 1998 Stocktake

Concluding comments: “…. there is as yet no effective cooperative mechanism capable of producing a more integrated set of holistic policy initiatives, nor overseeing their effective implementation. In the quest for effective planning for change the avoidance of future management within uncertainty is perhaps the “holy grail” of planning and management of our Moreton Bay.”

Planning for a Future Moreton Bay

  • 1. Do current planning practices reflect

contemporary planning approaches?

  • 2. Have current planning practices adopted

processes for best practice planning?

  • 3. Is current planning underpinned by

principles of best practice planning?
