Planning Institute Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Planning Institute was founded in 1951 and is the only national organisation representing qualified urban and regional planners and other related disciplines in Australia. The institute is a federation of State and Territory Divisions with the National Council comprising one representative from each Division, an elected National President, an Honorary Secretary/Treasurer, the National Young Planner Convenor and others as set out in the PIA Constitution and PIA By-Laws.
The Institute runs a number of events at both the National and Divisional levels, including a biennial National Congress, an Annual State Conference in most States/Territories, special purpose seminars, and a number of social occasions. The Institute also presents National Awards for Planning Excellence to recognise and publicise outstanding achievements in planning and design, and has a code of ethics to which all members are required to adhere.
