4. Place Plan + Government Advisory

A strategic roadmap for how a place will be managed, activated, and altered over a fixed time period.

Expand

Place Plan delivery for local councils and government agencies through locally-led approaches.

From CEO Valli Morphett (July 2019):

"A Place Plan is a strategic roadmap for how a place will be managed, activated, and possibly altered over a fixed time period... with the aim of delivering place outcomes, which could include various methods and approaches, including placemaking as one approach. Most often, a place plan is created by council in response to a catalyst, which could include pressures due to change, or disruption in a community such as major infrastructure change."
