PLANNING INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA PRESENTS
2018 NORTH QUEENSLAND REGIONAL PLANNING SYMPOSIUM
DENSITY X DESIGN
THE URBAN REVOLUTION
Friday 30 November 2018
PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY
WELCOME TO
THE 2018 PIA NORTH QUEENSLAND REGIONAL PLANNNG
SYMPOSIUM
As the Australian population creeps closer to the predicted 40 million people, our great regional
cities will become even more important to our national economy. Regional cities play an important
role in providing the highest order community and commercial services for their region, including
health and education facilities and often have diverse economic bases. Regional cities will continue
to have significant growth in their economy, population and cultural status. Planning, new
development and infrastructure investment are part of this evolution.
The increasing sustainability of our cities and the protection of its natural assets will be key
hallmarks to their growth and development. Development, including buildings, streets and public
spaces need to be well-designed and contribute to the creation of exceptional places within the city.
High-quality public spaces need to be created to optimise community interaction.
Cities are acknowledging that as their population grows their makeup is changing. Couple only
households are becoming the dominant force. Planning and development is recognising this shift
with housing growth evolving and a focus on creating compact cities, structured around a network of
activity centres becoming an emphasis. Overtime, key infill locations in regional cities will evolve
from being more than shopping centres to become great places to live, work, access services and
recreate. New infill residential development will underpin these changes in our regional cities
residential growth. All these changes should see public and active (walking and cycling) transport
networks, overtime become sustainable and enhanced.
If you are interested in shaping cities, I invite you to attend the 2018 PIA North Queensland Regional
Planning Symposium. This event is for the makers of cities. The event brings together some of the
biggest leaders in creating successful urban environments. The event is powerfully different and
provides the property and urban development industry insights into how to create relevant, urban
environments that make people want to stay. We will look at the missing middle, with regards to
built form and density (3 to 6 storey residential and mixed use environments). The program will also
look at why it pays to invest in the neighborhood and consult with the community. To bring home
the event we will do a site tour of the new Townsville Stadium and celebrate the year with PIA
Christmas Drinks.
PIA is looking forward to seeing you in Townsville!
