774th Council Meeting 46 28 May 2019 Minutes 8 PRESENTATIONS (Continued) 8.2 PLANNING INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA AWARD l-r Zoe White, Darren Roche, Carmel Peacock; Sinclair Britton, Mayor Tom Tate, Cr Cameron Caldwell. At the recent National Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) awards held on the Gold Coast on 15 May 2019, the City's Environment Planning and Natural Area Management teams were successful in winning the award for Planning Excellence in the Improving Planning Processes and Practices Category. The ‘Simplifying Offset Delivery’ project previously won the Queensland award for this category, and was automatically nominated for the National Award. The program competed against the winners of this category from the other State’s and Territory’s, which the judges commended for their very high calibre. Through the development of the external environmental offset program, the City of Gold Coast is leading the industry in addressing the complexity of legislation surrounding environmental offsets with their quantitative and qualitative approach. Environmental offsets are a vitally important tool in maintaining and improving environmental values lost through development and infrastructure delivery. The program simplifies the offset delivery process for external entities, whilst ensuring that these environmental offsets are delivered within the Gold Coast. To date, the program has facilitated the restoration of over 150,000 plants, across 44.7 hectares of koala habitat, on behalf of external entities, with a further 2.4 hectares due to be planted early next year. The award for excellence recognises the achievement of the City of Gold Coast in demonstrating through innovation and collaboration, that complex problems can be addressed to deliver widespread environmental benefits and efficiencies for industry.
