National Awards for Planning Excellence
National Awards for Planning Excellence – Call for Nominations National Categories Only
Nominations extended to 27th February 2012
As a part of the promotion of the new and revised award categories, the call for nominations in the ‘National Only’ categories have been re-opened.
The planning profession has enormously important and positive contributions to make to the future. Participating in the Awards for Planning Excellence is a small but important way to demonstrate your commitment to advancing the profession. Promoting planning success stories is a great way to show how planners really make a difference.
The National Awards for Planning Excellence will be presented on Monday 30 April 2012.
The intention of the Awards for Planning Excellence is to emphasise the important role of the planning profession, and to stimulate public awareness of good planning.
The National Awards for Planning Excellence are the only Australia-wide mechanism for formally commending planners for professional excellence and obtaining peer and public recognition for their work.
Entries that merit an award demonstrate a contribution to liveable communities, excellence in planning and recognition of the triple bottom line of economic, social and environmental sustainability.
Each year the state and territory Divisions of the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) hold Award programs enabling them to acknowledge excellence, innovation and achievement of the planning profession locally.
All Division Award winners are eligible for and are automatically entered into, the National Awards for Planning Excellence. The National Awards program consists of 12 award categories. Most state and territory Award categories align directly the National Awards.
The objective of the Awards Program is to:
- Foster a high standard of planning through the recognition of planning excellence in every state and territory,
- Publicly acclaim those in each state and territory whose contribution to planning is outstanding; and
- Identify nominations for the National Awards for Planning Excellence.
- Present the winners with the Awards at the annual PIA National Congress.
