Upcoming Events & CPD 

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.

Fostering connection between the emerging Transport Planning, Modelling, and Engineering cohort to key industry representatives across the public and private sectors. The event will host a Q&A and Introductory Panel of experts followed by an open networking opportunity for students and guests. Come along to gain valuable insights, ask questions, and start building the professional connections that will support your future career in the transport industry.

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.

Join us for an engaging session exploring the intersection of transport and land use planning, featuring three expert speakers from the State Government across planning, transport, and housing policy areas. Gain an overview of Tasmania’s land use planning system and its key instruments, delve into the role of strategic land use planning and its connection with transport, and discover how these elements are being integrated through a corridor plan that brings transport and land use together in practice.

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.

Join Steven Burgess (GHD) and Scott Ebbett (MRCagney) as they discuss the intricate relationships between people, places, and parking in Australian and New Zealand towns and cities. Steven and Scott will use practical case studies to demonstrate how smart parking and kerbside management approaches can help transform urban centres. Designed for professionals, technical practitioners, and government representatives alike, this webinar will delve into the impact of parking reform and its necessity for all types of cities and towns.

Discover how professionals and industry leaders navigated the challenges of Perth’s 18-month Armadale Line shutdown, one of the city’s most impactful public transport disruptions.

AITPM and the Heart Foundation are co-hosting this special presentation with Peter Norton, Associate Professor of history in the Department of Engineering and Society at the University of Virginia (USA). The session will be of value for anyone wanting to apply a people-first approach to transport and traffic policy and projects. Such reallocation of public space embeds community health and wellbeing into transport outcomes. It also helps address issues of traffic congestion, urban sprawl and climate change.
