Congratulations on your Appointment!

Thanks for joining us. As a Developer, you have a strong interest in profit margins and getting building plans approved by Council. You will do what needs to be done to get plans approved by council, as long as it doesn't cost too much and reduce your profit. You need to form a mental picture on how key environmental issues impact on your goal in this quest and how you may negate them.

This page will guide you closely through three main issues and prompt you to find examples (facts, statistics, quotations, or any other inputs) that you believe provide support for your views on the issues posed by this quest.

After you've collected an example for each of the issues, you will need to combine these into a single statement that represents a "Truth" about that particular key issue related to how tree clearing in Australia has affected the environment.  You will repeat this process three times.
Here is a Town called Miara, ripe for development as you will see from the profile of the area


1) Being a small community, what could a developer offer the residents of Miara that would benefit the community and make the developer money?

2) What do you have in your community that would make good money that the people of Miara don't have? Have a look here to see what's there! 

3) What benefit would your development bring to the community in the way of employment?

4) What monetary benefit would there be for the community? Tourism, flow on business such as cafes, motels?

Here is an argument
for tree clearing, 'click play to listen' on the web page for the audio version.

You will have the opportunity to speak to a developer around this issue. Your time will be limited so you will need to think of the questions you would like to ask prior to the meeting. By working your way through the above questions you will have a better idea of the questions you may like to ask.

Now you need to organise the information you have gathered and decide what you, the Developer, thinks would be the best option for the development of the land at Miara. Try using a flow chart to do this or plus and minus columns to weigh issues up.
Remember that you may use the Developer wiki to discuss issues with other Developers.
Present your opinion in a professional manner either by movie, powerpoint, still frame animation, which ever way you think will best showcase your point of view and persuade others.
Here is the link to a wiki that is for Developers only, use this site to collaborate with your fellow Developers and discuss your ideas.


Here is a link to a voice thread on developers for you to place you thoughts on.
