3 September 2018<\/em><\/p>\n

Spring has finally arrived, and I am looking forward to swapping weekends spent at the edge of muddy soccer fields for sunny afternoons at the cricket.\u00a0 For many of you this may sound like swapping one form a torture for another, but I find engaging in my kid\u2019s sport a welcome antidote to the working week.<\/p>\n

Spring also heralds the commencement of the Institute\u2019s planning process for the coming year.\u00a0 The SA Chapter business plan and budget will be drafted over the next month for review and sign off by the board.\u00a0 Chapter Council have been asked to provide input and we also welcome suggestions from members to inform this process.\u00a0 So, if you have any feedback regarding programs that have run over 2018 or suggestions for 2019 please let me know.<\/p>\n

To that end, the national review of the 2018 Awards program is underway.\u00a0 We had a lot of positive feedback this year but are always interesting in improving.\u00a0 All thoughts and suggestions are welcome.\u00a0 We also encourage you to consider nominating to be a jury member, which is a stimulating experience that provides participants with access to wonderful projects and the opportunity to debate what constitutes excellence within the Awards context.\u00a0 We also encourage you to review which projects you will enter in the 2019 program. \u00a0The entry process will commence in December, which is no longer that far away!<\/p>\n

In other news, the development of the documents required to implement the Planning, Development and Infrastructure (PDI) Act are progressing at a fast pace.\u00a0 A steady flow of discussion papers, draft policy and technical papers has been released by DPTI Planning and the Planning Commission in recent months and this is expected to continue until the PDI Act goes live in 2020.<\/p>\n

The SA Chapter believes that it is very import for architects to engage in this process.\u00a0 The PDI Act is the first in Australia to include design quality within an approval context.\u00a0 The development of the State Planning Policies, Design Code and Regulations provides the opportunity to incorporate the implementation of this principle in a meaningful and effective way.\u00a0 Architects will be at the forefront of applying this new regulatory system, so having it well resolved is in the profession\u2019s best interest.<\/p>\n

The SA Chapter Planning Reform Task Group has been working steadily to review each document and prepare a response.\u00a0 These are available for information on the Institute website<\/a>.\u00a0 We are also seeking input into the draft response to the Draft Planning Policies.\u00a0 If you are interested in being involved in this process or future reviews please register your interest with Vanessa Thamm<\/a>, who coordinates this work.\u00a0 You do not have to be a planning expert to contribute and, as with any group task, many hands make light work, so please do what you can.<\/p>\n
