A guide for creating healthy built environments in reuional NSW

摘要

The publication Draft Urban Design for Regional NSW: a guide for creating healthy built environments in regional NSW w&s released for public consultation on 27 September 2018. The project was jointly delivered by the Department of Planning and Environment and Government Architect NSW (GANSW), working closely with the regional offices in the department and informed by regional councils. GANSW has had a long involvement with regional areas of NSW. The first officer in the role, which was then titled colonial architect, was Francis Greenway, appointed in 1816. Since then, 23 government architects have been responsible for leading the design and delivery of civic buildings in major towns and cities. Over 200 years later, GANSW now provides strategic design advice to ensure good urban design outcomes for the state. The role of place is important, and GANSW acknowledges the importance of our connection to our place and our land. We acknowledge the importance of this connection for Aboriginal people, who know that if we care for country, it will care for us.
