Recent work in WA
uThe “Enviroworks” website (http://accessallareas.westone.wa.gov.au/) and database.
u
uThe research report (“The Potential for Green Jobs in WA”)
u
uFacilitation of new environmental initiatives (2000 and 2001).
*   the enviroworks database began in 1996.  It includes information on over    1000 organisations.
*   the enviroworks website also includes a wealth of other resources for      jobseekers, as well as a research report, and (soon) a selection of case      studies.
*   in late 1998, the Dept of Training commissioned Murdoch to produce a    “research report” into the potential for environment sector jobs in WA.     It is important to note that the purpose was not to survey where we      currently “are” in WA.  To some extent this was done by the ACF/ACTU    in 1994.  We were more interested in where we might “go” in the future.
*   The research report was based on earlier work by Peter Ellyard (“ideas      for the new millenium”) some of which were presented by him in this      series)
*   This was completed in mid-1999.
*   since then … project facilitation.
*    I’m going to spend most of this morning talking about the outcomes of      the research report.
