The fourth symposium for Australian impact assessment (IA) practitioners and researchers will be held over two days in Melbourne. Day one is now fully booked out. If you would like to be added to the waiting list, please email office@eianz.org. Registrations are still available for day two here.
Worldwide, IA is the pre-eminent tool for assessing the sustainable development potential of new proposals. However, IA is mostly reactive rather than strategic. This symposium will explore ways to broaden strategic thinking in IA in Australia.
Strategic thinking in IA can include:
There may be many other ways to think strategically within an IA, and avenues to apply strategic thinking and goals as part of IA.
The key question for this symposium is: “how can we deliver positive strategic outcomes from IA?”
Impact assessment professionals, planners, practitioners and academics, Commonwealth, State and local government agencies. New Zealand practitioners are also welcome to attend.
Day one is aimed at impact assessment professionals, practitioners and academics, and Commonwealth, state and local government agencies and will explore the symposium theme. Each session will include short presentations allowing time for questions and discussion. Day one will also include a short session dedicated to reporting on the State of IA in Australia by jurisdiction. This will be done through the tabling of written updates followed by a brief discussion of any issues that emerge. The day will conclude with a roundtable discussion on how IA practitioners and EIANZ can promote greater use of strategic approaches and achieve more strategic outcomes through IA.
Day two is primarily aimed at IA academics and researchers, although professionals and practitioners are also invited. This day is dedicated to a discussion between IA academics about both IA research and teaching possibilities. It is hoped that the first day will generate some key knowledge gaps, which we can then discuss. Other ideas for collaborative research are also welcome. This day will proceed only if there is sufficient interest.
Registration options were available for both days or a single day.
