Welcome

The Place Leaders Association (PLA) is a non-profit association whose members are some of the leading place makers and place managers in the Australasian region. The PLA’s mission is to actively promote leadership in the creation and stewardship of successful places throughout Australasia, which nurture vibrant communities. 

Our full members are public sector agencies with a mandate for place making and place management of some of the highest-profile public places in the Australasian region. They are committed to ensuring that sustainability – economic, social and environmental – is inherent in these places. Their responsibilities range from extensive urban renewal and development projects, to relatively smaller-scale heritage building refurbishments and award-winning new constructions.

Affiliate membership is also open to place-related public and private sector organisations involved in urban development and redevelopment, and professional consultancies, service organisations and academic or research institutions also involved in place-related fields.  

The PLA assists in the exchange of information between its members through networking, workshops, debate, analysis, research and publishing. Our member base continues to increase, and we invite place makers and managers who share our vision to join us in creating welcoming places that will support, sustain and inspire present and future generations of residents, workers and visitors.

Place Making for the Future
