PIA WA

We’re looking forward to our upcoming Authentic Aboriginal Engagement & Co-Design with Country forum.
 
The day will bring together Aboriginal leaders from DevelopmentWA, Infrastructure WA and experts across planning and design to share practical insights into building genuine partnerships, Designing with Country, cultural recognition, place-making, Aboriginal procurement and employment, and embedding Aboriginal perspectives throughout the planning and development process.
 
Whether you’re a planner, designer, developer, policy professional or work in community engagement, this forum is an opportunity to hear directly from those leading best practice and to take away practical approaches you can apply in your own work.

30 July, 9.00am - 5.00pm at Development WA, Perth.

Setting the Stage: Roles in Design Review

Setting the Stage: Roles in Design Review will explore how design review works in practice, using the State Government’s new Local Government Design Review User Guide and eLearning as a foundation.

Facilitated by Government Architect Emma Williamson, this session will bring together planners, designers and industry professionals to set the scene, shining a spotlight on the roles and interactions that underpin the collaborative design review process.

The dynamic session will draw practical links between guidance and real-world application, helping attendees understand how to use the tools in their own work.

Whether you are directly involved in design review or seeking to build your understanding, this session is an opportunity to bring along your burning questions, gain practical insights and join the conversation.

PIA WA has been busy promoting planning as a rewarding and impactful career as part of the Become a Planner campaign.

Recently, we had the opportunity to connect with students at the Wesley College, Perth Career Expo and Mercedes College, sharing insights into what planners do and how they help shape vibrant, sustainable and well-designed communities across Western Australia.

Thank you Joyce Chung, Adrian Di Nella, Jason Hunt, Ian Humphrey, Jillian Bardos and Rebekah Thompson, who generously gave their time to support PIA WA’s Become a Planner campaign.
