It was the first time that we had gone to an election in a number of years, and I\u2019d like to congratulate new council members Adam Hannon (Cox Architecture), Vanessa Amodeo (Troppo Architects) and Anthony Coupe (Mulloway Studio) in being elected as first time Councillors along with returning Councillors Dino Vrynios (Grieve Gillett Andersen) and Tony Gianonne (Tectvs).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The year has started with a flurry. The new Development Act is progressing through Parliament, albeit slowly, but we have already had a positive influence on the debate with the Liberal Party now supporting the Government\u2019s position of not having elected members on Development Assessment Panels. This is a positive move, and will remove the politics from the application assessment end of the process that we have all experienced being played out on our clients\u2019 projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We are frantically preparing for the trade mission to China in early April. There are a number of opportunities that we are looking to pursue in Shandong, with a focus on aged care and retirement living. Several practices are already involved in this discussion. But I\u2019d also be interested in hearing from member practices that might be interested in undertaking industrial and factory work in Shandong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There has been some interest in procuring design services in this area from Chinese businesses, and as with most things in China, the scale is an order of magnitude greater than what we do here \u2013 think the original 30ha of roof at the original Mitsubishi plant at Tonsley rather than a warehouse at Edinburgh Parks\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have an interest in pursuing this further, please get in touch with the SA Chapter office this week to register your interest. We\u2019ll need to get promotional material together quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Again we\u2019ve had a great response of entries for the State Architecture Awards. Jury presentations will be held on Saturday 19 March at the Office of Design + Architecture SA (ODASA), and once again all entrants will be presenting publicly as well as to the jurors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I can think of no better way of promoting the benefits of architecture than by presenting projects. However, bear in mind that you will have an audience of non-architects as well as the jurors and practitioners. There will be people who can\u2019t read plans and don\u2019t know what \u2018articulation\u2019, \u2018fenestration\u2019 and \u2018materiality\u2019 means\u2026\u2026 Accessible, simple to understand presentations are the key. Try them out on your families beforehand \u2013 they\u2019ll soon let you know! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And best of luck to all entrants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>David Homburg, SA Chapter President<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elections are over and we have a new Council whose term commences in March.
