Sustainable Engineering Management Practices in City of Gold Coast

This report analyzes sustainable engineering management practices in the City of Gold Coast, Australia, focusing on stakeholder engagement, ethical considerations, and transparency. It examines the application of the Sustainable Impact Assessment Tool (SIAT) to evaluate policies related to tourism, conservation, transport, energy, forestry, and agriculture. The research identifies key findings, including the importance of equal access to skills, community involvement, local resource utilization, cultural heritage preservation, and public participation in decision-making. The report concludes that while progress has been made, a more systematic perspective is needed to integrate sustainability into all project stages, considering social, environmental, and financial impacts for present and future needs. It also suggests future research directions, emphasizing stakeholder engagement and land governance to adapt to changing socio-economic contexts, with Desklib offering additional resources for students.

Sustainable engineering management practices (City of Gold Coast
Australia):
Introduction:
The study is aimed to understand the advantages of stakeholders. This is done in an
ethical, fair and transparent manner including participation of stakeholders proactively. The
Gold Coast is a metropolitan sector situated to the south of Brisbane located to the east coast of
Australia. This is famed for the long sandy beaches, elaborate system of various inland canals
and surfing spoors with waterways.
Research method and analysis:
 At first it is analyzed that indicators have been opted for being the most useful one.
 Then how the assessors must go for the indicators are to be determined.
 Here, 500 of the government officials of Gold Coast are chosen. They are assembled in
100 groups. Then various indicators are identified for the SIA of the major project and
the propensities are examined of an exemplar sustainability impact assessment
(Colapinto, Jayaraman and Marsiglio 2017).
 Here a lack of predictability is observed in the employee’s choice regarding the
indicators.
 This exemplar SIA has been boring the same type of characteristics. The predictability in
the tool developed is to ensure that the making of the decision is important. This is
because there is a lack of it entailing the concerning challenges.
Examples of this include, effectiveness, stakeholder participation, governance and transparency
issues. Various discussions have been related to the choice of

 Indicators for SIA concerning their commensurability. This also includes whether there
has been concerned to price them or not. Here, the initial step is to
 Assure that every related indicator has been considered or not (Staniškis and Katiliūtė
2016). Them a framework is to be proposed having various categories helpful
 To assess in identifying the list of an exhaustive indicator. The indicators must be
assigned to operational tactical and strategic level along with environmental, social and
economic dimensions.
For this research SIAT or Sustainable Impact Assessment Tool is deployed.
 This helps end users to analyze the effects of the policy strategies having a focus on
various cross-sectional
 Trade-offs and different side effects. Variously integrated assessment through which
SIAT permits the policy scenario to access the sectors of Gold Coast.
 This is regarding tourism, nature conservation, transport, energy, forestry and agriculture
of the area (Amini 2018). Here, the end users can stimulate various policies through
changing intensities that are expressed in various sets of tools. The effect indicators
consist of aggregate limits for validating sustainability. Here, the functions of land use
denote to various levels of services and goods at the area of Gold Coast.
Major findings:
 Here, every people should be the same scope to gain skills and knowledge to turn into the
worthy member of the Gold Coast
 During elaborating, implementing and evaluating various environmental, social,
programs and plans and sectorial policies must be considered (Accorsi et al. 2016).

 Next, efforts must be given to supply the necessities of communities at a local level from
various local resources.
 Here, sustainable and preservation usage of the cultural heritage and human made
environment are highly vital risks (Job, Becken and Lane 2017).
 Then sufficient access to information must be accessed for the environment and social
and economic life.
 This is for information on the process of decision making provided for everyone.
 Further, the sustainable development knowledge of the people, their environmental and
social and economic implications, sustainable approaches and solutions are to be clarified
and developed.
 Moreover, the public participation of the Gold Coast must be strengthened.
 To enable the sustainable development and make that the greater quality of life possible,
various unsustainable patterns of consumption and production are to be altered
(Eskandarpour et al. 2015).
 Besides, social responsibility is to be strengthened with cooperation between the public
and private sector.
Critical analysis:
 Besides, the perspectives are needed to become systematic and cover different project
stages.
 Apart from this, the theoretical perspective the importance of project managers are
limited to different functional roles (Klaučo et al. 2017).
Conclusion:

The demonstrations are not completely found to be reflecting with different elements of
suitability that originated from sustainable developments. Besides, the social, environmental and
financial impacts are considered and the effects for present and future is to be considered. Apart
from this, various criteria can be applied to different stages of the present project. This also
affects the effects and outcomes. Further, this is also seen from the presentation that more tasks
are required to be performed on the deployments of sustainable projects.
Future directions:
Further, it must be reminded the science of land system has been moving from the
concentration of understanding and changing various drivers of changes. This is to focus on
using the study of design transformations done through stakeholder engagement and the idea of
land government. Further, since land usage has been seen as the created geo-engineering project
where the humanity has been involved, the science of and system has been acting as the platform
to an integration of insights. This from various disciplines and translate knowledge to action.
Apart from this, the systems have been resulting to change of global environment and probably
powerful means of adapting and mitigating the change of global environment. For exploiting this
efficiency community of Gold Coast must move from dominant focus over exploratory research.
This is to understand the activities of land system and dynamic approach using the assimilated
knowledge. This must be done with stakeholders for mitigating and adapting the changing
scenario and context socio-economic.
