IPWEAQ

Streets and pathways are the building blocks of every residential neighbourhood. Along with our built environment, well-planned streets and neighbourhoods influence how people move and interact, access parks and open space, walk and cycle for leisure, recreation, exercise and transport.

IPWEA-QNT’s Street Design Manual: Walkable Neighbourhoods (the Manual) is a contemporary guide for the design and development of Queensland’s residential neighbourhoods. Developed for industry by industry, the Manual recognises streets as an essential connector to multi-purpose social spaces in our neighbourhoods. It offers access options for active transport delivering safer neighbourhoods and a sense of community.

This program will provide a detailed understanding of all aspects of quality contemporary residential land development that promotes healthy and safe communities and provide a more coordinated approach to neighbourhood planning and design for councils, developers and the community.

This program has been designed for Industry Practitioners working in the Planning and Design of contemporary residential neighbourhoods, including those working in both private and government organisations. Typical attendees include:

Planners, Designers, Engineers, Development Managers, Technicians
