Building Up and Moving Out<\/em><\/a> report articulates the need for Australia\u2019s cities and regions to be better planned, better connected, more diverse and more sustainable over the next 50 years.<\/p>\nIt highlights the profound changes Australian communities are \u2013 and will continue \u2013 to experience because of population growth, urbanisation, an ageing population and an evolving economy, providing 37 recommendations aimed at setting the national agenda to connect, reinvigorate and integrate cities and regions.<\/p>\n
\u2018Australia needs a national strategy to guide future growth, otherwise we risk losing the amenity and liveability that sets our nation apart,\u2019 said the Institute\u2019s National President Clare Cousins.<\/p>\n
\u2018We are strongly in favour of the concept of a national vision for our cities and regions and a national plan of settlement for the next 50 years.<\/p>\n
\u2018We don\u2019t need a population policy, it\u2019s not the size of the population that matters, but we do need a settlement strategy as it\u2019s the characteristics and distribution of the population that is important.<\/p>\n
\u2018The Institute welcomes the Building Up and Moving Out report and endorses a number of its key recommendations.<\/p>\n
\u2018The development of master plans, the appointment of a senior Minister for Housing and a Cabinet Minister for Cities and National Settlement together with the creation of a statutory Office of a National Chief Planner and Cities & Regional Development NGO Roundtable are critical measures and should be complemented by the appointment of a Federal Government Architect.<\/p>\n
\u2018Focusing on and supporting best practice design and planning is the only way for governments to assuage legitimate community concerns around congestion, meaningfully improve housing affordability and meet the challenges of inevitable population growth.<\/p>\n
\u2018Importantly, the Committee recommended that the Australian Government re-endorse Creating Places for People: An Urban Design Protocol for Australian Cities and provide financial support for the purposes of maintaining and promoting these design principles.<\/p>\n
\u2018Fundamentally, the report highlights the need for a national approach to ensuring Australia continues to prosper.<\/p>\n
\u2018This means better governance arrangements between state, territory and federal governments, an accelerated City Deals program, stronger Commonwealth engagement in master planning at a national level, the formation of city commissions, as well as a national institute for cities research.<\/p>\n
\u2018It also reinforces the need to attract and retain populations outside in our regions. To make this work, we need to implement strategies that ensure we have access to adequate schools, hospitals, housing, employment opportunities, transport and telecommunications.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
