Upcoming Events & CPD 

The fields of transport engineering, planning, and economics are advancing rapidly, with both academia and industry playing a pivotal role in shaping new methodologies and technological innovations. This event will feature a panel discussion with leading academics and industry experts, offering insights into the latest research trends, emerging best practices, and critical knowledge gaps. The discussion will also explore pathways for deeper collaboration, translating research into impact, and aligning academic inquiry with industry needs.

Join Lucy Saunders, Director of Healthy Streets, for an insightful discussion on the Healthy Streets Approach and how to encourage systems-change. This webinar will also include insights from James Laing, Senior Principal Transportation Designer at Stantec, who will share key takeaways from his experience in implementing Healthy Streets in Australia. The presentations will be followed by a Q&A session, offering a chance to dive deeper into the application and challenges of implementing Healthy Streets.

Join us for an insightful session exploring the Design of Roads and Streets manual — a comprehensive reference developed for designers, planners, and engineers. This event will introduce the key features of the manual, showcasing how it brings together practical design solutions, parameters, and local case studies to support context-sensitive improvements to roads, streets, and civic spaces. Learn how its principles are being applied across New South Wales, and take the opportunity to engage directly with the manual’s authors during a dedicated Q&A segment.

The AITPM Qld Emerging Professionals Network, in collaboration with AIA EmAGN, PIA Young Planners and AILA Fresh, invite you to join us at Urban Unwind – an opportunity for emerging professional working in the urban space to network and build relationships. Whether you’re a transport or traffic planner, engineer or modeller we’d love to invite you to meet likeminded and passionate professionals working as urban planners, architects and landscape architects.

More than 1.3 million people die each year on the world’s roads, and another 20 to 50 million are seriously injured. Despite continued and increasing efforts over the past decade, road trauma rates have risen globally. In 2024 alone, 282 lives were lost on Victorian roads. How can we leave a safer road legacy for communities now and into the future? Join us for this unique, debate-style event where teams will explore various aspects of road safety, with audience participation through Mentimeter to create a truly collaborative discussion.

Join us for an engaging and forward-thinking webinar presented by Urbis and City Science, exploring how carbon emissions can be quantified and embedded into transport planning. As the climate crisis continues to demand urgent action, transport planning plays a critical role in shaping our path to Net Zero. A vital step in this journey is the ability to assess and communicate the carbon impacts of our transport decisions. This session will showcase a recent collaboration between Urbis and UK-based firm City Science, focused on a groundbreaking project for Inner West Council in Sydney. The project explored innovative methods to assess transport recommendations through a sustainability lens, using City Science’s evidence-led, needs-based approach and proprietary analytical tools.

In-Person networking event

Join us for a premier technical seminar that brings together road safety professionals from across government, industry, and academia to share insights, build connections, and work collaboratively towards safer roads for all users.

Explore how integrated land use and transport planning is shaping more connected, sustainable communities across Tasmania in this technical event for planning and transport professionals.

How do we plan for the people we don’t even realise we’re planning for? This interactive session will challenge assumptions in transport and urban design, ensuring diverse needs are considered in decision-making. Experts will explore how inclusive design can improve accessibility for people of all ages and abilities, addressing the experiences of individuals with disabilities, neurodiverse communities, women, gender-diverse people, children, parents, and other often-overlooked groups. While the event is tailored towards emerging professionals, this is a technical event that is relevant to transport professionals of all experience levels, as this discussion will provide fresh insights and inspire more equitable solutions in mobility and public spaces.
