The Planning Institute of Australia’s Registered Planner program is a mechanism to identify and promote high-calibre planners.
It
recognises that only good planners can achieve good planning—by professionals with skills and knowledge not found in other disciplines.
To be a Registered Planner it is necessary to be a Full Member of the Planning Institute of Australia, have five years professional experience, meet competency for six key practice areas covering the skill and
knowledge
of
good
planning , and commit to continuing professional development. Less than 30% of all planners in Queensland meet the requirements. It is much more than having a degree in planning but requires demonstrated experience, knowledge, and proficiency.
A Registered Planner therefore represents—
- "High levels of integrity and professionalism
- An ability to use spatial thinking and interpret complex data
- A creative and integrative approach to problem-solving, drawing on a range of disciplines and methods
- An ability to develop and apply technical knowledge
- Advanced collaboration and stakeholder engagement skills
- An understanding of how to work within planning frameworks” (PIA, 2018)
