Tom Uren and Brian Howe made a difference.<\/p>\n<p>There is now a marked difference with private property investments delivering living active cities. Creating green livable cities is a shared responsibility of government, private industry and the community.<\/p>\n<p>Government has a responsibility to the community to encourage best practice. Currently, accountancy, spreadsheets and fee competition procurement methods lead to the lowest fee and is the cause of poor design and built outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of March, Rob Henry, as incoming ACT Chapter President and the new Chapter Council including emerging architects Yuri Leong and Shoba Cole will bring great skill to the Institute. Tony Trobe, Alan Morschel and Michael Jasper will be re-joining the Chapter\u00a0Council.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to those new to Council and my sincere thanks go to continuing Chapter Councillors and Committee Chairs for your support and efforts.<\/p>\n<p><em>Andrew Wilson<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>23 February, 2016 The past two year\u2019s examination of governance by National Councillors has the Institute about to enter a phase of significant improvements in: Advocacy for high quality design and the engagement of architects; Active engagement in architectural education of contemporary relevance; and, The Institutes operations, so that member\u2019s services are the focus.
