THE VALUE OF PLANNING IN … regional development and prosperity

Planning in regional areas can, at times, be challenging in different ways to planning that is undertaken in more urban areas. Regional areas often have hidden gems that can form catalysts for development, but there may also be conflicts between uses in the rural/urban interface areas. This seminar seeks to highlight the possibilities that planning within the regions is able to unlock to provide economic prosperity and development opportunities.

This seminar brought together two regional Queensland projects which address different types of regional development, being the urban/rural interface areas of Bundaberg and the Mackay Waterfront Master Plan and PDA project. The speakers (Amanda Taylor Mº£½ÇÉçÇø from Place Design Group and Kylie Rogers from Mackay Regional Council) discuss their projects, along with the challenges and opportunities that these projects provide to their regions.
