This content highlights the importance of incorporating sustainability into decision-making processes in statutory projects. It discusses the significance of robust data collection and analysis in large projects, along with the necessity of post-project monitoring for environmental benefits. The text emphasizes how organizations can be compelled to prioritize sustainability through legal requirements, government regulations, and cost considerations. By enforcing post-project monitoring and periodic reviews, the quality of predictions can improve, leading to environmental benefits and cost savings in activities like dredging.

Post project monitoring • Legal requirement for 3-year review needed • Government to insist on seeing review report • Consultants will have to build in costs for this • Contracts will have to include for pre- during- and post- monitoring • Costs will increase. • Benefits: • Better quality of prediction • Environmental benefits and cheaper dredging Page 2
