BEMP 2009
BEMP 2009 took place with the BEMP Summit on Wednesday 12 August and the Australia Award for Urban Design on Tuesday 11 August.
An integral part of BEMP 2009 was the collective discussion about the key principles of urban planning frameworks outlined in the consultation draft "Principles for Planning Sustainable Communities" by The Allen Consulting Group.
The draft was revised following feedback collected at BEMP 2009 and further discussion encouraged via an online forum soon afterwards. Please visit www.bangthetable.com/BEMP for a copy of "Principles for Planning Sustainable Communities" and to view the discussion.
