What is ANZAPS?

ANZAPS is an informal network of planning educators.  ANZAPS primary function is the exchange of information and ideas about planning education between planning educators.  This includes teaching skills and techniques, research into planning education, and discussion on key content issues. In addition, ANZAPS wishes to promote planning as a career, and to maintain and develop links with international planning schools and associations. 

Members of ANZAPS are drawn largely from planning programs accredited by PIA , the Planning Institute of Australia  and the NZPI, the  New Zealand Planning Institute. ANZAPS also includes people with an interest in planning education who are not necessarily directly involved in the field.

ANZAPS operates independently of the Planning Institutes, but  works cooperatively with the Institutes on matters concerning planning education.  

How does ANZAPS work?

ANZAPS has an annual conference, usually two days in duration, hosted by one of the planning schools. (See Where does ANZAPS meet? below).

Between conferences, ANZAPS works mainly through its e-mail list server RePlan which is the primary means of ongoing information exchange between members.  RePlan debates are often lively and cover a wider range of planning related issues. Replan is also used to advertise conferences, seminars and other matters of general interest to the planning education community. 

Decisions made by ANZAPS are made by consensus amongst members at the annual conference. Matters requiring attention between meetings are discussed on RePlan, usually initiated by the Convener, or a person delegated by the Convener (usually whoever has a strong interest!).  The Convener is nominated by the School  holding the next conference.

When does ANZAPS meet?

ANZAPS meets annually for a 2 day conference, hosted by one or more of the planning schools. Recent annual conferences have been hosted by planning programs at the Queensland University of Technology, the Northern Territory University, the University of NSW and jointly by Melbourne University and RMIT. (non-exhaustive list!).

The next conference is being held in Adelaide, Australia 30 September to 2 October,

Conference papers from some previous conferences are available on this site in the Resources area.
