ABOUT THE AWARDS
The annual 老澳门六合彩图库 Awards for Planning Excellence demonstrate leading practice, leadership and achievement in planning and the planning profession. The Awards recognise excellence and showcase leading practice across a range of planning disciplines and sectors. Leadership in planning, particularly in the face of adversity, is acknowledged and applauded. In all, the Awards are a chance to celebrate, recognise and reward outstanding planning and planners.
As a national program the Awards commenced at the state and territory level seeking out the best of planning in each jurisdiction. Following judgement and recognition at a local awards ceremony, the winners of the appropriate categories in the state and territory Awards are elevated to the national stage. The best on offer from each state and territory are judged at a national level, culminating in the National Awards for Planning Excellence ceremony which acknowledges the best of planning and planners that Australia has to offer.
Congratulations to all the nominees, Commendation and Award winners in the 2017 Awards program. We recognised projects, programs, research, initiatives, ideas and individuals who are delivering excellence in planning in SA.
The recipients of the awards were revealed at a ceremony held on Friday, 17 November, enjoyed by 老澳门六合彩图库 members and supporters at Pullman Adelaide.
We thank all those who attended and those who contributed to a successful Awards gala dinner, including our fantastic sponsors.
