What Planners are Asking from the Next Australian Government
This is my first solo episode for Season 3! With the federal election only a matter of days away, I step through the Planning Institute of Australia's Federal Election Platform. In this solo chat, I explain:
What are the key asks of the planning profession for the next Australian Government?
How can the next Australian Government help facilitate more well-located housing, plan for climate action and resilience, create a stronger National Urban Policy, and tackle the national shortage of planners?
You can find PIA's Election Priorities document here National | Planning for a Better Future - Federal Election Priorities 2025
In planning news, I mention a few upcoming events:
Janes Walk (in honor of great urbanist Jane Jacobs)
Gold Coast - Event Display
Sunshine Coast - Event Display
Suncorp Stadium at night - Rescheduled event: International Women’s Day Safe Cities | Safe Streets Night Walk - Queensland Walks
Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP) fundamentals - PLANET QLD | Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP) Fundamentals
