(2006) Peters, Greg M.; Rowley, Hazel; Lundie, S; Flint, MeganConference PaperChallenges like population growth and climate change are maintaining a high level of dynamism in the water industry, resulting in large capital investments and the consideration of alternatives to conventional water supplies. In this environment, LCA is appreciated as a useful planning tool, but it has not yet achieved its full potential due to the lack of a national sustainability framework and other factors. In this paper, examples of recent LCAs in the water industry are discussed. The practical justification and resourcing of LCAs are examined. In addition, two case studies are presented illustrating how LCA can assist the planning process and the degree to which hybridisation presents a methodological challenge to traditional process LCA. Finally, the implications of the new WSAA Sustainability Framework for the future of LCA practice are discussed.

(2006) Bandyopadhyay, Srikanta; Zeng, Qinghua; Berndt, Christopher C.; Rizkalla, Sami; Gowripalan, N.; Matisons, JanisConference PaperThe topics of ACUN-5 will cover all aspects of the science and technology of composite materials, from materials fabrication, processing, manufacture, structural and property characterisation, theoretical analysis, modelling and simulation, materials design to a variety of applications, such as aerospace, automotive, infrastructure, packaging, ship-building, and recreational products. ACUN-5 will bring together the latest research and developments of the complete range of composite materials, including biocomposites, medical-composites, functional and smart composites, gradient and layered composites, nanocomposites, structural composites and mimicking natural materials. The reinforcements will range from nano-, micro-, meso- to macro-scale in polymer, metal, ceramic and cementitious matrices.

(2006) Lundie, S; Peters, G; Ashbolt, Nicholas; Lai, Elizabeth; Livingston, DanielJournal ArticleIn this article we discuss the application of strategic planning tools in the Australian water industry and a framework for assessing the sustainability of new investments in water cycle management. Created in a research project partly funded by the Water Services Association of Australia, the Sustainability Framework is based on taking the best of current strategic planning and sustainability assessment approaches, including appropriate levels of interaction with public and government stakeholders. It embraces recent developments in the application of life cycle assessment and other information tools. The intent is to deliver a guide which provides for both analytical and participatory aspects of sustainability assessment.
