Abstract
The enHealth Council (2000) supports those practices that incorporate a system of rewards for achieving integration between sustainable development and environmental health practice. This study assessed the link between sustainable development and a Rates Rebate Scheme that fosters environmental health by rewarding retention and maintenance of valued habitat in Cooloola Shire, South East Queensland. It found that there was a dearth of understanding of the term 'sustainable development' among the general public; a concern for those responsible for implementation of sustainable development policies and environmental health. Those who were eligible to participate in the Rates Rebate Scheme had a better understanding of sustainability than the general public.
