City of Melbourne & City of Sydney Share Major Planning Award31 March 2009 The Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) has bestowed its coveted President’s Award jointly on the City of Melbourne and the City of Sydney for their separate leadership roles in advancing national agendas of sustainability, transport planning and social infrastructure in major cities. The Award, presented yesterday evening – Monday 30 March 2009, at the PIA’s 2009 Annual Congress in Darwin, is for both the Future Melbourne Community Plan and the Sustainable Sydney 2030 Vision.

We ask that any significant changes you make to the content of the draft plan are explained in the discussion pages so that all participants in the wiki can understand why a change has occurred. We cannot guarantee that the changes you make will appear in the next iteration of the draft Future Melbourne plan that will be promoted publicly - that's the nature of an ongoing collaborative debate.
