Planning For Play

The Inaugural Planning For Play event is not one to be missed. Aimed at any gate keepers to children’s play, be they designers, landscape architects, teachers, counselors, town planners, allied health professionals, parents… This event will have something for you.

Come and engage with a range of professionals who see play from its inception, and as something far more an after thought in their creations. Come and discuss why these sorts of considerations are critical to healthy communities and successful children.

Join us post event on the amazing roof top terrace to take these conversations even further and network with some likeminded people.

The Brisbane Powerhouse

The Brisbane Powerhouse is Queensland’s home of contemporary culture and art. A magnificent power station of the 1920s reborn as an arts centre on the Brisbane River (Maiwar). It is this conversion, this consideration of design, community and the arts, that ensured The Brisbane Powerhouse was out first pick as a venue for this event.

Poster Presentations

As well as a lineup of amazing speakers, Planning For Play will also include some amazing poster presentations. The theme for the presentations is “Removing Barriers to Play”. Each presenter has been involved in a unique initiative to remove a specific barrier for play for children. From individual Kindergartens, to entire cities, these gatekeepers used their power for the benefit of the children.
