Opinion sought on sustainable population strategy — Tuesday 1 March 2011

The Federal Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities has invited submissions to its issues paper A Sustainable Population Strategy for Australia.

The paper comprises three appendices, each containing a report from independent Sustainable Population Advisory Panels, which identify and explore issues around Australia’s changing population.

In releasing the paper, the Government hopes to draw out community views about changing population, which will in turn inform the Government’s Sustainable Population Strategy.

Submissions can be made through the department website and are due by 1 March 2011.
The strategy will consider the policies and programs required to ensure that we can shape and respond to changes in our population to build a sustainable Australia. The ultimate goal of the strategy is to improve the wellbeing of current and future generations through more effective recognition and management of the impacts of population changes, including the size, composition and location
