Description

This is my first solo episode for Season 3! With the federal election only a matter of days away, I step through the Planning Institute of Australia's Federal Election Platform. In this solo chat, I explain:

• What are the key asks of the planning profession for the next Australian Government? 
• How can the next Australian Government help facilitate more well-located housing, plan for climate action and resilience, create a stronger National Urban Policy, and tackle the national shortage of planners?
