The AIUS has a significant publishing record. Since its foundation, it has completed and published more than 100 research reports as well as numerous collections of papers given at seminars and conferences. Its annual Bibliography of Urban Studies in Australia (from the late 1960s to the early 1980s) was and remains a valuable resource.

The major current project, Environmental Indicators for Metropolitan Melbourne, is accessible from our home-page at Environmental Indicators or through this link.

The project has produced a Bulletin each year since 1998. Work has begun on Bulletin 8. This will update the topics covered in Bulletin 6 – Air quality, Biodiversity, Buildings, Council priority and community concerns, Litter and Transport.  Bulletin 7’s topics, Air emissions, Water, Beach and bay, Greenhouse, Open space and Waste, will be the basis of Bulletin 9 in 2006.

The project was initiated with the City of Melbourne which has continued to be the major contributor. Approximately 15 of the local government councils within the Melbourne metropolitan area are also contributing to the content and/or cost of the project along with Victorian Government departments – Environment Protection Authority and the Commissioner for Environmental Sustainability.

We welcome suggestions which would increase the value of the project.
