Green Planning & Design Summit

The Green Planning and Design Summit steps beyond targets to consider the policies, strategies and innovations in material and management that drive sustainable development in cities, towns and regions across Australia. It considers the planning and design frameworks that are critical to sustainable growth.

How do our cities and towns understand and tackle their vulnerabilities? How do they use the core principles of planning, design and resource management to adapt to the demands of climate change and the changes in demography and socio-economic needs to become dynamic regions of growth.

Join planners, designers, builders and engineers as they discuss the capital frameworks within which Australia operates, innovates and initiates sustainable development.
