Built Environment Meets Parliament
(BEMP) 2010

BEMP is an annual conversation between parliamentarians and industry leaders that showcases the relationship between Australian communities and their built environment. BEMP offers an opportunity to explore the economic, social, environmental and governance issues that help shape national prosperity.



BEMP 2010 will consist of a welcome dinner incorporating the presentation of the Australia Award for Urban Design on Tuesday 15 June and the full-day BEMP Summit on Wednesday 16 June 2010.

The main goals of BEMP are to:

• discuss changing community needs, industry trends and issues critical to meeting the aspirations of Australians
• discuss public policy ideas that can help build community wealth
• provide a showcase for leading industry and professional practices operating in the built environment
