Pittwater Council are in very good company with 19 other NSW Councils to join the international charter for walking in 2014. We look forward to many future projects that prioritise the pedestrian and create places and spaces that promote incidental social interaction by way of walking. Congratulations and now lets turn the good intent into reality.

Sym Studio Research – Seabrook
A fantastic project deigned for the journey of people, rather than the constraints of the motor car. There are many components of this project worth considering here in Australia.
Greenfield Release Area, Ingleside (Bulletin #1)
This greenfield planning process is the first of its kind in NSW. As part of Sydney’s North West Growth Centre, Ingleside Investigation Area will accommodate an unspecified proportion of the new 3,700 homes required by 2031. A unique partnership between NSW State Planning, Pittwater Council & The Local Community.
Utilising active input from the local community, the project control group will aim to deliver an integrated – mixed use community, based on evidence based reporting without rigid preconceived outcomes.
