MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER OF VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA

It gives me great pleasure to be involved with this Environment and Sustainable Development Mission and to lead this elite group of innovative planners and policy makers, designers, technologists and process engineers from the State of Victoria, Australia.

The mission delegates include representatives from a range of sectors relating to 'ecologically sustainable development' and each of them has been invited to participate in this Mission because they have something unique to offer.

They continue to play a significant role in the 'sustainable' development of Melbourne and to enhance its reputation as a global 'design-centre' and one of the World's most liveable and sustainable cities.

Sustainability and liveability are intrinsically connected and they attract creative and innovative people to a city. In turn, creative and innovative people attract high-value industries and this is why sustainability and liveability are such important social, environmental and economic indicators for the long-term well being and prosperity of a region.

I strongly recommend that you take the time to read through this directory and to meet with the companies participating in this important Mission. I am very confident that you will be impressed by their level of expertise and global experience and by the vast range of services, technologies and products that they can provide.

I encourage you to discuss your specific needs with the mission delegates and I am certain that by working together, that we will be able to satisfy and address some of the critical issues related to the sustainable development of our cities and regions.
