Benefit Cost

A requirement for project proponents to include a benefit-cost analysis (BCA) as a component of their environmental impact assessments is implied in planning approval legislation in New South Wales, Australia. Fulfilling that requirement in the context of three large-scale expansions of coal mines has led to the application of choice modeling to estimate values for the main environmental, social, and heritage impacts. A number of particular issues have emerged in those applications: the framing of choice sets so that incentive-compatible willingness-to-pay questions are asked; the inclusion of “existence values” associated with employment opportunities provided by mines; and the incorporation of environmental offsets as part of the choice task given to respondents. The benefit-cost analyses of the coal mining projects have proven controversial. While the government agency responsible for administering the project approval process has used them as an input to decision-making, in some cases its recommendations have been “over-ridden” by the imposition of subjectively determined administrative rules. In one case, an appeal through legal channels against an approval was successful in part because the judge who heard the appeal dismissed the BCA findings because it was contrary to his own viewpoint of the merits of the case. In response, the state government has introduced legislation that requires greater “weight” to be given to the development benefits of coal mining. These responses have left the role of BCA and nonmarket valuation in the decision-making process in “limbo,” with practitioners and policy makers unsure as to the future of the methods in politically charged contexts.

The City

A new symphony orchestra aiming at the highest standards has been founded this year in Sydney. There has been no ‘stunting’ in order to attract fame, no desperate appeals for funds, and in fact the necessity of asking for subscriptions from the public has simply not arisen.The orchestra, which has a full complement of eighty players, is financed jointly by the Australian Broadcasting Commission (a non-commercial concern), the New South Wales State Government, and the Sydney City Council. It is assured of a subsidy of £60,000 annually for three years—£30,000 from the A.B.C., £20,000 from the State Government, and £10,000 from the City Council. The last mentioned will also grant free use of the city concert hall, usually rented at £40 a night.

Potential Use

Commenting on the discovery of subterranean clover in New South Wales in 1896, Mr Maiden, Botanist to the State Government, wrote : "This is not an introduction which need render us uncomfortable." In making this statement, he could scarcely have foreseen that there would be an estimated 20 to 30 million acres of sown subterranean clover pastures in Australia by the 1950s (Davies, 1952).
