Abstract
The Remote Area Developments Group (RADG) conducts research and development projects in water supply, sewerage, revegetation, renewable energy and environmental health for remote Aboriginal communities in Western Australia. The Environmental Technology Centre, a 1.7-hectare technology park on campus, was established as a resource by RADG for research, development, demonstration and teaching. RADG has worked with international organisations in India, El Salvador and Indonesia where rural environmental education centres have been established as demonstration sustainable settlements. This approach has not yet been taken in Australia with remote Aboriginal communities. The proposed Centre for Arid Lands Science, RADG, Kalgoorlie College and the Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission could together develop a community-based education centre for the teaching, research and development of sustainable technologies. Outcomes could benefit all human settlements in arid lands
