Land Use in Australia: Past, Present and Future, is a compilation of invited chapters from Australia’s leading specialists in land use policy and planning and land management.
-
Chapters present many widely recognised issues involved in Australia’s land use policy and planning, including limited understanding and poor awareness of:
• The rich history of poor decisions on land use planning and management across different levels of government
• The discontinuities between providers of national biophysical information
• The tools, data and information to improve national land use decision-making outcomes
• The poor synthesis and integration between science to policy to natural resource management and resource condition
• The benefits of land use practitioners engaging in connection, cooperation, mutual inquiry and collective social learnings.
-
The aims of the book are threefold: 
1) provide a review of the current status of land use policy and planning in Australia; 2) provide a resource to inform and influence the development of land use policy and planning; 
3) provide a sound contribution to Australia’s public–private land use debates in the future.
-
The audience for the book includes government and non-government land management agencies from state and national bodies, universities and researchers.
