A very Happy New Year to everyone! The Sydney and Newcastle offices have been taking advantage of the quieter time in January to prepare for the coming year which promises to be a productive and exciting year for architecture in NSW with many new initiatives being launched. In particular, we are very pleased to announce that the NSW Architecture Archive, sponsored by the City of Sydney will be launched in March. Special thanks to Noni Boyd and volunteers Dianne Ramsay and Donal Carr for painstakingly cataloguing a plethora of documents on NSW architecture since 1907.

We have a great program of CPD events schedule in the coming months. If you are entering this year’s NSW Architecture Awards, this Thursday’s event ‘Getting your Project Awards-Ready’ is a must attend event.  On ‘The Year Ahead’ will assist you to position your practice to take advantage of the year ahead, and in February changes to SEPP and the Housing Code will be presented in time for their commencement on 22 February. Please click here to view the forthcoming CPD events.

We would like to say thank you to those members who submitted for the curatorial positions for Tuesdays at Tusculum and Architecture on Show and remind everyone that if you’d like to be more actively involved in the Chapter’s activities in Sydney, Newcastle or regional NSW please let us know, we’d love to have you on board.
