Leisure & Social Planning

Thursday 24th June 2021

Sport, recreation and community infrastructure plays a vital role in the developing a sense a place and in building a strong community identity. As an enabler, facilities and social infrastructure well planned, and quality designed spaces encourage people to meet, learn, play, socialise, and express their culture, no more evident than over the last 12 months. As a part of PLA WA's de-constructed conference, the Leisure and Social Planning day aims to provide you with a range of topics and case studies throughout WA, that would be sure to stimulate the mind. So join us for this one day only event to reconnect, learn and share with like-minded peers.

Program 8.30am - 4.00pm followed by a Networking Function
