WA Emerging Planners

The WA Emerging Planners is your community of early-career planners and students, proudly supported by the WA Division of PIA.

We’re here to connect, support, and inspire the next generation of planners in WA. Through events, updates, and opportunities to get involved, we’ll help you build your career while having a bit of fun along the way.

What we’re all about:
• Kickstarting careers – networking, mentoring, leadership, and learning opportunities to help you grow.
• Bridging the gap – making the move from study to professional practice smoother and more rewarding.
• Fresh ideas, fresh energy – showcasing the creativity and enthusiasm of emerging planners to help shape the future of PIA WA.
• Connections that count – building genuine social and professional relationships with peers and experienced planners through events, mentoring, and career-building programs.
