The Sullivans Cove Waterfront Authority is part of the Tasmanian Resource Management and Planning System. The overall statutory objectives of the system are to:
- promote the sustainable development of natural and physical resources and the maintenance of ecological processes and genetic diversity
- provide for the fair, orderly and sustainable use and development of air, land and water
- encourage public involvement in resource management and planning
- facilitate economic development in accordance with the objectives set out in the above paragraphs
- promote the sharing of responsibility for resource management and planning between the different spheres of government, the community and industry in the State.
“Sustainable development" means managing the use, development and protection of natural and physical resources in a way, or at a rate, which enables people and communities to provide for their social, economic and cultural well-being and for their health and safety while:
- sustaining the potential of natural and physical resources to meet the reasonably foreseeable needs of future generations
- safeguarding the life-supporting capacity of air, water, soil and ecosystems
- avoiding, remedying or mitigating any adverse effects of activities on the environment.
