WEBINAR: Nature in the City - Fostering Biodiversity

 

Join us for a webinar exploring the Government Architect NSW Biodiversity in Place Framework. The framework provides good practice guidance on how to respond to biodiversity in the planning, design and delivery of built environment projects in NSW.

Hosted by AILA as part of the Government Architect NSW Webinar Series, the ‘Biodiversity in Place’ webinar will equip you with the knowledge and insights needed to implement the framework in your projects.  

In the webinar, we will take a deep dive into the case studies which provide examples of how biodiversity has been considered in completed projects and consider the importance of fostering collaboration for biodiverse public realm design and maintenance.

The panel of experts will share case studies to show how biodiversity has been considered in completed projects. No space is too small to be valuable to urban nature, to build corridors and create stepping stones. One garden here, a green roof there, to a beautiful stretch of naturalistic planting will all deliver local impact. When connected on a city-wide scale, these elements are transformational. 

When:  Monday 23 September, 12.00pm – 1.30pm AEST

Hear from the experts: 

• Gain first-hand knowledge from those who developed the Biodiversity in Place Framework. 
• Hear from and engage with the design and project teams who delivered projects that successfully delivered biodiversity in place.

Who should attend / Target audience: 
• Design and construction industry.
