Changes on Earth happen at multiple levels of intricacy and take place in dynamic, social, economic, technological, biophysical and political contexts. Climate and environmental systems change
rapidly and through the application of Climate Change Co-Adaptation [3] the community of
Anglesea can achieve resilience. Therefore, identify the key issues of a changing climate, its impacts
on the built and natural environment, and implement actions to be able to adapt to these changes.
Anglesea is located alongside the Anglesea River and the seas of the Bass Straight, which form part
of the attraction for settlement, in essence a result of the inherent attraction of humans to large bodies
of water. This Affinity To Water [4] requires us to acknowledge the complexities of the dynamics
of coastal and water systems. Therefore, investigate the biophysical characteristics and social-ecological systems of place, in order to understand the patterns of human-nature affiliations.
When developing coastal management and planning solutions for the town of Anglesea, there is a
need for the knowledge of the longer- term history of the land, the Indigenous knowledge that stretches
over thousands of years. Considerations for coastal settlement needs to embrace the Advanced
Indigenous Knbowledge [5] of the Wadawurrung. Therefore, collaborate with the Wadawurrung to
record their long-term history of Anglesea to better understand the dynamics of the lands and waters
of Country and Sea Country.
The positive enhancement of connections between the local habitants of Anglesea and their natural
environments is fundamental to the health and wellbeing of the community. Therefore, employ
Biophilia to connect people to nature at physical, psychological and consciousness levels. Further,
consider deep interaction patterns and apply biophilic design to embrace Love For Nature [6],
which will result in a nature language for the wellbeing of both humans and nature.
Regenerative-Adaptive Design looks at nature for its inspiration and model. Any future development in Anglesea needs to question how the human systems can be ordered in ways analogous to, and
integrated with, the order of nature’s systems at location. Acknowledging that everything is interconnected using Nature’s Design [7] will reveal the consideration of a set of layers from a place’s geology to the plant, animal and human habitats. Therefore, locate places that are suitable for sustainable
development with the resources and absorptive capacity of human life, and identify places where
sensitive and eco- productive systems are not harmed.
Moving beyond sustainability as part of a regenerative future, the town of Anglesea needs to engage
an input-output cycle, considering systems that restore, renew or revitalize their own sources of energy
and materials, thereby creating sustainable systems. Beyond this baseline approach, design humannature ecosystems as co-spatial processes by applying the pattern Regenerative Ecosystems [8].
Therefore, identify and record all the underlying living processes that contribute to the co-evolution
of one holistic regenerative and adaptive structure of the town of Anglesea and larger regional
environment.
The patterns and processes of Anglesea at the later stages of development need to be embedded in
the patterns of process and structure at the earlier stages, going as far back as to the first Indigenous
settlement. Therefore, apply the knowledge from the past to the future through the Transformations
Of Wholeness [9] to recognise the interconnection of all and this unfolding to create living structures.
Forces of change are constantly present, and for continuous resilience the community of Anglesea
needs to deal with these complexities of change specific to place. Therefore, using the fundamental
pattern of Notion Of Regenerative-Adaptive Patterns [10] equip the community to facilitate the
evolution of Anglesea to both build up its level of complexity to greater maturity and stability, and
increase its richness and redundancy to enable agile adaptation.
Ecological and settlement succession of Anglesea is only achievable if the pattern Evolutionary
Adaptation [11] is applied, resulting in integrative complexity as the collective action of residents
over time, moving towards continuous improvement and self-transcendence. Therefore, the regenerative-adaptive patterns of place must be fully embraced, progressing to adaptive planning and design,
based on the findings from the regenerative-adaptive pattern language, the regenerative-adaptive
design model, and the notion of regenerative-adaptive patterns equation.
