We would like to establish a "PARK" which can be a roll model to visitor and general public to increase the awareness on Environmental management system like
1.Building a conferance Hall with Waste materials.
2.Use of Natural Ventilation in the building.
3.Use of Solar Lamps in the Park.
4.Collection & cleaning of waste water and using for plantation
5.Attraction of Birds
6.Improving the Green cover.
7.Display of Boards showing the use of waste materials

These aspects sound good to me.

Does anyone else have any additional thoughts?

I do, actually, and it has to do witn #4, 5 & 6 on the list: I had already been thinking about posting a link to part of my route (I go by bike all year around, often through this place) to work: Ekeby Wetland.

It's an artificial wetland, created in order to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus and bacteria in our sewage. It was created 1997 - 1999, and turned out to be a big success. As a bonus we can go there and watch lots of birds, particularly during the migrating seasons.

This is a pretty good explaination of what is going on there, but the pictures are old: http://www.vattenavlopp.info/vatmark/wetland.htm

Go ahead and get a consultant if you think you need to!

The only thing about a consultant related to ISO 14001 is if he/she is competent (4.4.2), is aware of your policy (4.2), you have an operational control and monitor or measure key indicators if they are or present a significant aspect (4.4.6 & 4.5.1), that you identify the aspects they bring into the mix (4.3.1) and amybe 1 or 2 other things.
