The PIA Queensland Awards were held on Friday night, 7th November. One of Tract’s works, The Bromelton Outline Structure Plan, prepared for Scenic Rim Regional Council, won an award of excellence for Industrial Planning. The judges believed that the work was forward thinking, comprehensive and showed innovation in its application. They also believed that it showed a sympathetic approach to the surrounding environment.

Tract also picked up a merit award for the CQ University Campus Renewal Plans of Rockhampton, Bundaberg and Mackay for Regional Planning Achievement. This project showed the way in which higher education can play a formative role in shaping the economic bases of future regional prosperity.

One of Tract’s student town planners in Brisbane, Jess Lisle, along with six other students in her group, won a Merit Award in the category of tertiary student projects for their report on Climate Solutions for a Growing Region. This report discussed climate change and its relevance in the SEQ region as well as practical and realistic strategies, policies and actions for decision makers.

The Brisbane Development Association, if which Mark Doonar is President, won an encouragement award for the Super Studio: Brisbane 2057 workshop. Several Tract team members were involved in this project which was labeled as an exciting, challenging and visionary event.

The overall result of the awards night saw Tract’s work featured predominately throughout. Congratulations are forwarded to all people who participated in these projects.
