LMR Reforms: Progress, Pitfalls, and the Path Forward.

Bartier Perry is proud to host this AIUS event.

Join the Australian Institute of Urban Studies (AIUS) for an insightful seminar and panel discussion on the ongoing Low and Mid Rise (LMR) reforms.

As these changes continue to shape our planning landscape and urban environment, this session will facilitate a broad discussion to unpack their real-world impact. Together with an expert panel of industry and government leaders, we will explore current successes, navigate the existing challenges and pitfalls, and examine the potential trajectory of future changes.

Panel

• Scott Pedder – Director of Planning and Place, Woollahra Council

• Chris Johnson – Former CEO, Urban Taskforce

• Tom Loomes – Executive Director, Strategic Planning, Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI)

• Lynne Sheridan – Moderator, Chair of AIUS

Whether you are an urban planner, architect, developer, or policymaker, this discussion will provide valuable perspectives on the path forward for the LMR reforms.
