Program

Workshop (optional) | 3:30 pm – 5:45 pm
Strategic Urban Design in a Housing and Climate Crisis

Housing is a hot topic, with planning reforms across Australia aiming to boost supply — such as the TOD Program in NSW and Victoria’s Activity Centre Program. But how do we ensure these future neighbourhoods include what makes them liveable and resilient, respond to the specifics of the place, and involve community members as part of this transformation? This workshop brings together urban experts to explore urban design as the vital link between policy, place, and people.

Awards Ceremony | 6 pm – 8:15 pm
