Movement and Place is a multi-disciplinary, place-based approach to the planning, design, delivery and operation of transport networks. It broadens our thinking about our roads and streets beyond their functional role in supporting movement - they are also places for people to live, work and spend time.
It is part of an international shift towards embracing the importance of people, and place when designing, planning or operating streets and roads. It recognises the complementary relationships between place and movement and matching the road or street to its desired function within the wider network.
Join this webinar for an overview of the whole-of-government NSW Movement and Place Framework and how it supports Austroads Guidance, Australian Standards and the Global Street Design Guidelines as they apply in different contexts across NSW. The Framework invites practitioners to take collaborative, spatial and vision-led approaches and offers a common language and process of collaboration to support meaningful discussions across all levels of government, industry, and communities. Learn about how we are developing the Framework to cover all stages in the asset lifecycle from strategic planning and design to operations and maintenance. Hear about opportunities to contribute as we co-design the next parts of the Framework with practitioners in councils and consultancies.
The webinar will be presented by Arjan Rensen, Ben Cebuliak and Gareth Collins.
There will be question and answer opportunities during the session.
