Abstract: Much of the debate on sustainable development is focused on improvements to production and development practices. However, government decision-making processes can have a significant influence over sustainable development outcomes. Many decision-making processes used to resolve sustainable development issues result in compromised or lowest-common-denominator outcomes. This article argues the need for a more ersified approach to sustainable development by using decision-making processes involving government projects and programs to add value to economic, social, and natural capital. The article introduces the concept of triple value adding to the core business activities of government. Triple value adding involves applying new approaches to improve the planning, designing, and packaging of public projects and service programs to increase their economic, environmental, and social capital multiplier effects and thereby achieve more sustainable development outcomes. This article suggests some practical measures to embed sustainability into the core business of public agencies.

The Impact of Daikyo as a Foreign Investor on the Cairns — Far North Queensland Regional Economy

Publisher: SAGE Publications

Date: 1998

DOI: 10.1068/A300161

Abstract: Foreign investment has played a major role in the development of tourism in the Cairns-Far North Queensland region of Australia, one of the nation's most internationalised regional economies. As the owner of a significant number of hotels and tourism operations, the Daikyo Corporation from Japan is the major foreign player, contributing substantially to employment and regional production. In this paper we use input-output analysis to estimate the contribution of Daikyo to the regional economy, which is shown to be positive and considerably greater in its export-to-import ratio effects, than is the case for the total industry sectors.
