Many existing projects don't involve the mainstream of population. In Canberra at the present time there are more developments than in any other part of Australia. At the present time we really need some good examples. The local councils have been passing regulations without knowing what they were passing regulations about. That's why it is so important to build pilot projects all over the place, City Farms, big settlements, etc.
Catchment planning involves looking at the big picture.
It is very hard for the government to make the relevant decisions because it cuts across the local government boundaries. Alex started with catchment plans and it was very exciting even at the start. Suddenly everything fell in to place. He found the perfect site and it was only owned by two people. It is not much good to identify the perfect site if it is owned by local people.
