Executive Summary
This report summerises the research findings on:
- the range and relative importance of 'values' (associated with water) held by different stakeholder groups across northern Australia;
- the willingness of different stakeholder groups to trade-off those values against different types of economic development; and
- methods that planners can use for eliciting, assessing, and measuring values and trade-offs for different stakeholder groups at an aggregate (planning area) scale.
There is a related fact sheet, please see:
This report has been produced as part of the sub-project Relative values of water for trade-offs, which is part of the Social and Cultural Values project for the Northern Australia Water Futures Assessment.
