Our Story
Established in 2004 Place Leaders was founded by the leaders of large public sector agencies who were planning and developing major urban land projects and renewal precincts.
Today our ecosystem has expanded to recognise place champions and place leaders that lead, advocate and influence place in many professional, community and governance contexts, both large scale and small.
We all share a commitment to a collaborative inclusive culture that delivers remarkable place outcomes and holistic place experiences.
Our Members
Our membership ranges from public sector agencies to property developers, professional services, academic and cultural institutions who are involved in planning, managing and developing the future of our places.
