| Review of Standards – Feedback Welcomed | |
Following a successful first year for EnviroDevelopment, UDIA (Qld) has commenced a review of Version 1.1 of the EnviroDevelopment Standards.
To ensure that EnviroDevelopment standards continue to set a sufficiently high target, it was envisaged that EnviroDevelopment would be periodically reviewed as required to ensure that the requirements are appropriate with progressions in new technology, regulation or practices. In light of changes to Queensland legislation, community expectations and the certification of seven projects, the standards review will ensure that EnviroDevelopment continues to inspire and reward high performing sustainable developments.
The EnviroDevelopment Technical Standards Taskforce will be reconvened early in the new year, with the revised standards expected to be released in the first half of 2008.
UDIA welcomes feedback from its members regarding the current standards and suggested improvements. Hard copies of the EnviroDevelopment Standards are available from UDIA (Qld) or can be downloaded from: http://www.envirodevelopment.com.au/01_cms/details.asp?ID=6 .
Please send comments to kchessher@udiaqld.com.au by Friday 1st February 2008.
