Expected results for partner organisations: While the various partner organisations contributing to this project identify different potential benefits according to their industry and strategy, the common underlying theme is enhanced strategic decision-making based on increased certainty about future airport and regional developments.

 

Sustainability Criteria:

A primary benefit and significance of this project is the integration of all stakeholders in developing solutions to airport regions with reference to particular sustainability criteria: economic efficiency, environment, coordination, community, security and resilience.

 

  • Economic Efficiency is conceptualised as the strategically-focused innovative development of economic activity that maintains and enhances a region’s international competitive advantage in high value industrial sectors and their support industries.
  • Environment here embraces the maintenance and enhancement of physical environmental systems in ways that permit productive use for existing and future generations.
  • Coordination denotes institutional mechanisms that permit and facilitate changes in social structures in response to changes in global, technical and bio-physical environments.
  • Community means resilient social and physical environments that maintain and create interactive and cooperative behaviours that enhance individuals’ senses of worth, place, community and well-being.
  • Security means resources and ongoing capacity to identify, assess and respond to possible emergency, and disaster events with significant potential to disrupt social, economic and bio-physical processes in the region.
