CONTENTS

Because Planning MattersPIA believes in the power of planning to shape our world. Planning supports our everyday life; connecting us with places to live, to work, to study and to play. It supplies us with clean water and air; with energy to power our lives; and with food to nourish our bodies. Planning is the tool that creates places that we love and that nurture us now and into the future. Planning matters.

PIA believes our planning professionals are the key agents in delivering great planning.

PIA exists to nurture and support the development of high quality planning professionals. We want to inspire planners to shape the world to create great places.

PIA is passionate about the value that planners deliver to society and we actively advocate that to government, industry and the community.

PIA carries out a broad range of activities across Australia that are all about advocating for better planning, developing high quality planners and supporting the planning profession.

This PIA Annual Review provides a snapshot of some of the many highlights of the past year.

OUR VISIONLeading effective planning for people and places.

1Annual Review

2013/2014

When CEO Kirsty Kelly and I began our current roles in early 2011, we were conscious of the breadth of issues the membership of PIA was keen to see considered and of the changing roles of planners generally. In particular, I wanted to improve the perception and understanding of the value of the planning profession and to enhance the services provided to members.

StreamliningThe constitutional changes voted by the membership took effect on 1 July 2011 and have been followed by a range of initiatives to streamline the administration of the Institute. As an example, the number of people attending meetings of the National Board has decreased from 22 to 11 which has reduced costs significantly. Communication of outcomes of board meetings has been improved with the introduction of communiques after meetings to all division committees advising of key decisions and actions. The financial management of the organisation has been streamlined and strengthened with consistent systems and processes introduced to avoid replication of work and to align priorities. All of which allows us to focus on delivering the business of the Institute.

Planning Matters – Shaping the World Today for TomorrowA key project has been the development and then progressive implementation of the Planning Matters strategy. PIA and our sister institutes around the world were concerned that with changing world environments following the Global Financial Crisis we needed to build the profile of the planning profession and the understanding of the value of planning. The planning profession was undergoing

considerable scrutiny and was being blamed for economic development difficulties. We know that good planning is the best way to manage urban growth, secure necessary infrastructure investment, determine appropriate settlement patterns for our cities and towns, generate economic development that contributes positively to the wellbeing of individuals and communities, and the natural and built environments on which we rely. But we needed to share that message more. The Planning Matters strategy was developed with input from across Australia and launched at the National Congress in Canberra in March 2013. The strategy has a series of actions.

PIA will Focus, Invigorate and Position members and the profession through a series of key actions including:

1. Focusing our members on being bold planning professionals committed to delivering good planning;

2. Invigorating the profession by inspiring planners to embrace change; and

3. Positioning the profession by championing good planning.

I am proud of our work in showing Australians that Planning Matters and that Planners make a difference, and I look forward to helping implement the remaining components. My sincere thanks to the many members who have contributed to this process and its implementation.

It is with pride that I prepare my final comments as President of PIA for the 2013/14 annual report. My term will conclude in November and this annual report includes some highlights of recent years in addition to the achievements of the Institute over the past year.

FROM THE PRESIDENT

2Annual Review 2013/2014

Member servicesI have been a member of PIA since starting my studies too many years ago to mention. I was introduced to the services of the Institute by a mentor and rapidly connected to a network of information, training and new colleagues. This was particularly important as I was working in North Queensland and enjoyed the opportunity for networking and training. I have always believed that being a member of the Institute is more than just about attending training events and receiving helpful information. It’s about building linkages for our professional and personal futures, which is why I was happy to volunteer for roles in the local committee, Qld President and then as National President. PIA’s program of ongoing improvements to member services is something I am particularly proud of. Our rollout this year of telecast PD events to members in regional areas is a key step in expanding training and networking opportunities and I look forward to seeing this program grow. Other key components of the membership strategy, such as the review of membership categories and the introduction of clearer opportunities to recognise members, are also great steps forward. One of the privileges of my terms as President has been the opportunity to attend events around Australia and to get to meet so many of the members. It has also been a fascinating exercise to learn so much about the planning systems operating around the country and where the areas of commonality/difference are.

International connectionsPIA is a member of two significant international partnerships in planning that connect us with many other global initiatives - the Global Planners Network and the Commonwealth Association of Planners. It was a privilege this year to be asked to present on behalf of PIA at both the American Planning Association annual congress and in the United Kingdom as part of their centenary year celebrations. The institutes share issues and solutions on a regular basis with significant information available to all members on the respective websites.

Many thanksThe volunteer members of our Institute are a force of nature and we would be lost without their dedication and commitment. In particular, I would like to thank the many members of the local Division committees, conference organisers, professional development committees and the National Board of Directors who work tirelessly for the benefit of our Institute. It is not easy at times to balance a full day’s work in your paid position and then face meetings, reports and multiple events at night, but it has always been worth the effort from my perspective. I have made lifelong friends, expanded my professional network and learnt so very much about planning. The generosity of spirit that I see in all our volunteers and in particular in those holding leadership roles is amazing and, on behalf of the Institute, I thank you for your efforts.

I would also like to thank my employer Toowoomba Regional Council which has allowed me the remarkable opportunity of, firstly, undertaking the Qld Division Presidency and then two terms in the National Presidency. Our arrangement has included a normal full workload but the ability to attend meetings away as needed, and that flexibility and support has been wonderful. It takes a quality employer to allow an officer to participate as I have in this role, for which I am very grateful. I would also like to thank my team at work which has also been incredibly supportive – particularly when I have come back from a trip inspired with a new project for us to implement. Finally, a huge thank you to my husband Kevin who has supported me through the years. He’s been there to cheer me on when panic threatened to stop the various

presentations from happening, packed bags and listened to my musings about projects and solutions and been my plus one at many events where he knew no-one. I couldn’t have done it without him.

The futureIt is an exciting time for the Institute going forward. I believe we are on the verge of a new way of operating and providing significantly more value to the profession. I look forward to continuing to participate in a different way and keeping in touch with so many new friends.

Happy planning.

FROM THE CEO

CEO’S SUPER 6 HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2013/14

Cutting through with our Federal Election Advocacy campaign and seeing PIA get positive attention from the new government

Policy and advocacy traction gained through our policy collaborations, including Moving Australia 2030, ASBEC and the Urban Policy Coalition

Planning Matters campaign and seeing members and supporters using the #planningmatters in social media

Resolution of the strategic direction for our membership structure and CPP, setting the path for PIA’s evolution

Focus on membership value through the development and implementation of the Membership Retention and Recruitment Strategy, with a raft of new initiatives implemented and many more on the way aimed at improving the value and PIA experience for members.

Cultivation of the OnePIA team – doing ‘more with less’. We have a great team of enthusiastic and skilled staff who are passionate about what we do and go the ‘extra mile’ to support members

Like Dy, I have been in this role since early 2011, stepping into the seat at a fairly tumultuous time after a succession of CEOs and when PIA had recently transitioned to being a Company Limited by Guarantee. It was time for stability and for the national organisation to stand united in order to move forward. As a new team, I believe Dy and I complemented each other’s skill sets and have worked together to successfully lead the respective Board and management teams with a ‘OnePIA’ approach.

PIA has been undergoing a transformation focused on creating a more unified, effective and efficient governance system and operations. While the transformation isn’t complete – and arguably it is a task always in need of regular renewal – PIA is now ready to take the next big steps.

Over the past three years we have been building upon the foundations laid in the past to achieve a vision for PIA as the leader of the planning profession in Australia. We have been connecting the pieces of the puzzle and making decisions that focus PIA on becoming a strong advocate for planning, driven by a high-quality Australian planning profession. The aim has been to position PIA to be more responsive to the rapidly changing environment and to deliver greater value to members.

The current evolution underway in PIA is focused on exactly this vision. The decisions already made and those still to come are about moving us towards the vision of being a strong, respected profession in Australia that positively influences and shapes the future of our cities and regions.

The proposed changes to the Code of Membership and the development of a new higher membership benchmark - the “new CPP” - are focused on strengthening the professional standards for urban

and regional planners and positioning our members as leaders in planning. The new benchmark and assessment pathways being developed will set a highly credible and robust standard for planning practitioners. This is to be more clearly linked to a learning framework, from university accreditation through to practice, that supports the ongoing professional development of planners in a more structured way that will equip them to deliver better planning outcomes.

At a time when the role of planners is often contested, PIA is moving to strengthen the position of the profession by focusing on high professional standards and on empowering planners to shape the future. Like most ambitious visions, achieving it will require many smaller steps along the way. PIA is currently on this journey, undertaking a series of projects to progress us to the desired future. I encourage members to take an active part in shaping the future of our Institute.

Achieving our vision is an exciting prospect and one that I believe will secure the future of not only PIA, but of the planning profession itself.

As we continue on the journey to achieving the PIA vision under the new leadership of Brendan Nelson, I would like to acknowledge the guidance and friendship Dy Currie has provided me as CEO over the past 3½ years. It has been a time of significant professional and personal growth, which has been all the more enjoyable with Dy’s support. I wish her all the best and I look forward to her continued contribution to PIA.

Kirsty Kelly MPIA CPP Chief Executive Officer

Preparing this Annual Review - the first with this level of information for several years - has provided me the opportunity to not only reflect on the performance of PIA in the past year, but to consider the journey we have been on over the past few years.

5Annual Review

2013-14 HAS BEEN A PERIOD OF SIGNIFICANT STRATEGIC POSITIONING FOR PIA WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF KEY ELEMENTS OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN 2012-15.From the Federal Election and the #planningmatters strategy, to the evolution of PIAs membership structure and the investment in membership retention strategies, the PIA team has been driving the implementation of the agreed strategic directions. These efforts are beginning to bear fruit, and we should see the real benefits in the coming two years.

Planning MattersThe Planning Matters strategy has been the overarching messaging across PIA’s advocacy campaign, incorporating the Planning Matters platform and the ‘What is Good Planning?’ position statement. The campaign - and its widely used #planningmatters hashtag - has been disseminated by the PIA Board, Presidents and management through a range of channels.

#planningmatters seeks to position PIA members and the profession through a series of key actions including:

1. Focusing our members to be bold planning professionals committed to delivering good planning;

2. Invigorating the profession by inspiring planners to embrace change; and

3. Positioning the profession by championing good planning.

One of the exciting elements of the #planningmatters program has been the launch of the Planning Ideas competition, offering a $10,000 prize to attract the best ideas for promoting planning.

MediaWhile getting media attention is a challenging task for an organisation with a balanced viewpoint such as PIA, we have continued to attract a good level of interest from the traditional media sources. PIA is also very active on social media in sharing and connecting with the latest news and spreading the word about the importance of good planning.

80+ news articles, radio and TV stories that directly quoted PIA positions.

PIA believes in the high value that planners deliver to our society through planning and we actively advocate that to government, industry and the community.

ADVOCATING FOR BETTER PLANNING

150+SUBMISSIONS, CONSULTATION SESSIONS AND MEETINGS WITH ELECTED AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS

80+NEWS ARTICLES, RADIO AND TV STORIES THAT DIRECTLY QUOTED PIA POSITIONS


Federal Election advocacyPIA advocated for better planning in the lead-up to the 2013 Federal Election and to the new Coalition Government. The “Planning matters: PIA 2013 Federal Election Platform” formed the basis of a PIA policy and advocacy campaign with initiatives under four broad calls to action:

1. ACKNOWLEDGE the critical importance of cities and commit to a New Deal for Urban Australia to align productivity, liveability and sustainability.

2. DEMONSTRATE planning leadership to guide the implementation of smarter and more productive planning systems.

3. IMPLEMENT policy and programs that support the delivery of healthier and more resilient built environments in which Australians live, work and play.

4. INVEST in the capacity building and development of the planning profession to leverage more effective and efficient outcomes for investment in the built environment.

The election period saw PIA approach the major parties with its Pre-Election Platform, with a positive response from the Labor Party that yielded a commitment to appoint a Minister for Cities among other promises that endorsed PIA’s platform. A post-election campaign to the Coalition Government and its key Ministers yielded meetings with the Ministers (or their staff) responsible for the portfolios of transport, infrastructure, regional development, environment and resilience. The Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, acknowledged PIA when he invited CEO Kirsty Kelly to his Australia Day event. While there is still much work to do in convincing the Federal Government of the value of their involvement in planning, their significant level of interaction with PIA to date is a positive acknowledgement of our efforts.

Healthy Active by Design WA

Healthy Active by Design is a tool to inform the design of communities that support and promote healthy and active living. Practical guidance, checklists and case-studies are categorised into nine key design features that will assist planners, urban designers and related professionals to design a built environment that enables people to be healthy and active in their community. The comprehensive, easy to use resource contains the best available evidence, links to inspiring national and international examples and detailed high quality Western Australian case studies which can be applied to both metropolitan and regional areas. The guideline was produced by the Heart Foundation, working with the government departments of Planning, Health, Transport,

and Sport and Recreation, as well as PIA, Landcorp, Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority and UWA’s Centre for Built Environment and Health. It is being implemented as part of an ongoing program of work led by the Heart Foundation to create environments that support healthy and active living. The HABD Tool will be supported through an implementation strategy that will include regular communication, information-sharing opportunities, networks and partnership building and interactive training opportunities. PIA is proud to be part of the Healthy Active by Design movement and is committed to improving the health of our community through good planning and design.

9Annual Review

IN THE 2013-14 PERIOD PIA DELIVERED:

8300 ATTENDANCES AT THESE EVENTS, INCLUDING 4500 MEMBER ATTENDANCES

300+ HOURS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

189500+ SPEAKERS

SEMINARS, CONFERENCES & TRAINING EVENTS


Planning Congress 2014: Connecting People & IdeasPlanning Congress 2014 was held in Sydney from 16-19 March 2014 and included YP Connect and the biennial Global Planners Network (GPN) Congress that brought international speakers and delegates from around the world. The congress theme was about connecting people with ideas in an environment where planners, decision makers and urban stakeholders could consider those ideas and experience emergent techniques and technologies.

The objectives of Planning Congress 2014 included the promotion of leadership in planning; the demonstration of global thinking and ideas; and the showcasing of Australian planning talent, ideas and ingenuity to the global planning community. Delegates using the rating capability of our Congress Mobile Application were particularly impressed by the following sessions:

• Intelligent connected cities and regions: spatial planning in the 21st century (Alfonso Vegara);

• The Planning Profession - Culture and Value (Dr Andy Inch & Trudi Elliott CBE);

• New ways of connecting (Bob Perry & Ben Guy);

• Panel of Mayors - Leadership, Politics and Planning (chaired by Lucy Turnbull AO);

• Economic Value of Good Planning (Sarah Reilly, Jason McFarlane, Chris Isles & Heath Martin);

• Connecting Ideas - Lessons for the future (Brent Toderian & Dr Lai Choo Malone-Lee); and

• The Cutting Edge Snapshots session.

Other highlights included the MWH Global International Dinner, MacroPlan Dimasi Gala Dinner, the National Awards for Planning Excellence, the Sydney Harbour welcome cruise and the Urban Technology IN FOCUS session.

State ConferencesSuccessful state conferences were held in:

• Queensland - Mackay 2013 and Gold Coast 2014

• New South Wales - Mudgee 2013 and Hunter Valley 2014

• Victoria - Warnambool 2014

• Tasmania - Campbell Town 2013 & 2014

• Western Australia - Perth 2013 & 2014 and Busselton 2014

• 1600+ delegates engaging in state conferences across the country.

Certified Practicing Planning (CPP) ProgramThe PIA Board has refined the direction of the CPP program, taking into account member, employer and industry feedback on the program, and the changing landscape of professions. Key direction-setting decisions have been made that reinforce the need for a stronger focus on professional standards as part of the highest level of PIA membership. This is linked to a range of other changes to the PIA membership structure that are proposed and are being discussed with members over the course of 2014 and 2015.

There has been moderate interest in the professional program of training associated with CPP including the topics of urban design, ethics, communication, climate change, project management, economics and legislation and governance.

Universities and PIA-accredited coursesPIA continued to support the future of the profession through the accreditation of university planning courses. In this period we completed Visiting Board processes for nine universities where more than 700 PIA student members are studying.

2013/2014

In this period PIA has placed significant emphasis on the development and implementation of a Membership Retention and Recruitment Strategy. It aims to grow the membership base by increasing member engagement and value to retain existing members, and to develop targeted campaigns to attract new members. Reform of the membership administration process and the streamlining of the Code of Membership are two key activities out of this strategy being implemented. Changes already implemented include new membership classifications to support members in different career stages, such as ‘part-time professional’ and ‘career break’.

MembershipMembership numbers in 2013/14 stayed relatively consistent despite a 5 per cent increase in membership fees. The retention rate of Full Members for the last three years has been above 91 per cent which is above the industry benchmark of 80-87 per cent. The next stage of the Membership Retention and Recruitment Strategy is to focus on new member recruitment – including the elevation of graduates and affiliates - while maintaining strong levels of Full Member retention.

Online services and social mediaIn response to member surveys PIA has increased its focus on delivery of online services to support members in accessing content regardless of their location. We have grown our online presence and utilised digital platforms to connect with members and share information faster and more frequently.

• 50+ hours of online professional development presentations

• 170+ editions of Australian Planner are available online

• 415+ articles on emerging planning issues, best practice and research available online in Australia Planner, State-based PIA magazines and electronic publications such as the Policy & Advocacy News

• 3300+ Twitter followers

• 9300+ tweets

• 2500+ Facebook likes

• 5000+ members of PIA LinkedIn groups.

PIA exists to nurture and support the development of planners and, more particularly, planners who are PIA members. We provide a range of services and activities across the country over the year aimed at supporting the planning profession.

FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY

While revenue from membership fees and member services such as events and conferences held steady, there was a decrease in the number of government service contracts. These contracts related to capacity building for the profession through to provision of policy advice.

Apart from the direct costs associated with the government contracts, expenditure also remained steady in relation to staffing costs and the direct costs associated with the delivery of member services.

The Board and management have worked hard to improve PIA’s financial stability and have rebuilt the cash reserves from the low point in 2011. The accounting systems and processes have all been simplified and streamlined to improve the quality of budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting by management of all divisions.

With the focus in 2013/14 again being on rebuilding the levels of working capital,

capital expenditure was limited to the replacement of office equipment, such as computers. The level of working capital ended the year just over the Board’s “safety net” target of $1,360,000. This has PIA well positioned to cope with an unforeseen economic shock and, importantly, means that future profits can be directed to additional member benefits and services.

The Board also approved a formal policy for the investment of PIA’s cash in a conservative portfolio of term deposits with a range of Australian financial institutions over a range of time frames.

PIA also receives annually a significant amount of in-kind support from its members that is not represented in the Financial Statements. We could not continue to thrive without this invaluable support.

For the year ended 30 June 2014 the Planning Institute of Australia reported a modest surplus of $35,040, which was only slightly under the budget set by the Board at the start of the year. Overall the Institute’s revenue fell from $5,724,000 to $4,471,000.

27Annual Review

2013/2014

Founded in 1951, the Planning Institute of Australia has a rich history that has evolved over more than 60 years. In 2002 we changed from the Royal Australian Planning Institute to the Planning Institute of Australia. PIA undertook further constitutional change in 2011, moving from an Incorporated Association to a Company Limited by Guarantee. Over these many decades we have been led by a succession of distinguished National Presidents.
