New post out:

We have a guest post today from the excellent @dsquareddigest.bsky.social.

"Build the Rail! Save the snails!"

Or how we don't need to sacrifice the environment to speed up our mad planning processes.

During my PhD, I’ve learned 3 key lessons:
1️⃣ Identify a problem you can solve with available resources.
2️⃣ Define the problem and approach systematically.
3️⃣ Spend 80% of your time planning; execution is just 20%.

If I have 5 days, 3 go to planning!

#Warrnambool: ask what the Insurance Council AU says!

Planners don't seek independent technical peers reviewed studies to update planning schemes & protect communities to waste public funds & time.
Where is Vic LGA Minister? The LGA needs a governance monitor ASAP

The annual VIC International Women’s Day Breakfast is a perennial highlight in the PIA Victoria events calendar. Sit down and enjoy a delicious hot breakfast while hearing from distinguished keynote speaker Victoria McKenzie-McHarg, and be among the first to hear the winner of the PIA Victoria Women in Planning Leadership Award. With this Women’s Planning Network (WPN) event, we recognise the contribution of women in planning, a profession in which women have a long history of participation and leadership in roles that provide a significant contribution to the wellbeing and liveability of the communities we create. The theme of this year's International Women's Day is 'Balance the Scales', highlighting the urgent need to ensure fair, inclusive, and accessible justice for every woman and girl. Victoria McKenzie-McHarg CEO, Women's Environmental Leadership Australia Victoria is the CEO of Women’s Environmental Leadership Australia (WELA), and has worked in climate and environmental leadership for the past 17 years. Her former roles include Chair of the Climate Action Network Australia (CANA), Climate Campaign Manager of the Australian Conservation Foundation, and Manager of Strategy at Bank Australia.

Let's hope #AngelaRayner #SoS at #DHCLG will do the right thing and drop the unwanted #HolocaustLearningCentre, budget now £147m. #NAO 2022: the [then-]dept “does not have a track record of managing programmes of this nature”.

Policy: The UK has pivoted back to clean energy. Onshore gas brings minimal security, tiny economic benefit & no price relief. Without a full EIA, risks outweigh any reward. ⚖️ #PlanningMatters #lineinthechalk

Health: Drilling through a protected chalk aquifer risks water supplies for thousands. Even low-probability contamination would be catastrophic. Add noise, air pollution & methane leaks—and communities pay the price. 💧 #ProtectOurWater #lineinthechalk
sonofedd.bsky.social David Eddy @sonofedd.bsky.social · Aug 24
Climate: In 2025, new gas isn’t a “transition fuel.” It’s fossil lock-in with no carbon capture. The UK’s carbon budgets leave no room for more extraction. Net zero means new renewables, not new wells. 🌍 #ClimateCrisis #lineinthechalk

A controversial proposal to change Wandsworth’s heritage committee remit has been put on hold. Why? Because people like you stood up.

📍Good land use planning is not just about maps and bylaws. It is about clean water 💧, safe housing 🏠, and climate resilience 🌱. That is the work. #PlanningMatters

David & Kylea, ensure APH publishes real-time data of planning permits currently valid in Australia versus number of building permits.
There is undue blame on Local Government planning - at a time when there is a glut of ready-to-go residential permits for people to engage builders! #planningmatters
