'Despite an increasing proportion of women in planning, women continue to face gender bias in a variety of ways...as such, planning educators and professional planning associations have a responsibility to address the issue of gender inequity within the professions.'


About Us

The Women in Planning Network is your local divisional group for Women Planners, supported by the NSW Division of PIA and the NSW Executive Team.

It also provides a space for all women in the planning profession to network and meet other like-minded professionals, discuss issues and find support for professional development from other women, as well as, advocate to increase gender equity in our profession, across all levels.
