Abstract
The bicentennial of European settlement in Australia has led to a number of public and private questions about how Australia has performed in the first two hundred years and where it might be heading in the future. The most obvious changes in Australia since 1788 have been environmental, cultural, and political. It is therefore not surprising that architects and environmental designers generally are looking again at their performance, and the the Australian government is leading the charge towards a proper system for environmental assessment.
