Some of the key takeaways from this discussion:
- the value of planning is being restored and going through a renaissance
- planners are driven by common good / community good
- we can achieve much more when we cooperate and collaborate - would be great to see all Australian Planning Ministers coming together
- its time to embed climate change in planning law across Australia
- we need to map existing climate risks across Australia to identify areas of vulnerability, and then prepare place-specific plans for most vulnerable communities.
- must not add to the legacy of vulnerability
- need to upskill planners and built environment professionals to gain confidence in planning for climate change
- we are past the point of climate guidelines - its time for regulations. Industry want certainty
- Insurance industry are looking to planning profession to be proactive
- Carbon neutral developments are lacking evaluation and monitoring
- 90% of built environment will still be here in 2050 - focus on re-use and improving existing urban fabric to create resilient and sustainable outcomes
- possible legacy for Brisbane 2032 would be to embed climate change process in everything we do
