Emerging Planners
An Emerging Planner is someone with less than five years of post-graduate experience in planning or a planning-related field. They’re new to the industry and need our support, now more than ever.
We created Emerging Planners Groups in every state & territory to connect, support and empower new planning professionals, graduates and students.
From professional development opportunities and specialised networks, to social events and representation on our committees, we’re making sure our Emerging Planners are ready to shape tomorrow.
