Urban Design Protocol – refreshed and relaunched

The Urban Design Protocol: Creating Places for People is a landmark resource for better urban design in Australia.

The Protocol was created through a collaborative process led by the Australian Government, involving industry, community and all three spheres of government.

The Protocol provides twelve broadly agreed principles including characteristics of a location, people’s experience and well-being; and encourages excellence and collaboration in the design and custodianship of urban places. Custodianship of the Protocol has been transferred from the Department of Infrastructure to ASBEC and the site has now been re-launched with updated and refreshed content.

Nearly 50 organisations have pledged to be Champions of the urban design protocol. The collaborative actions will make a significant difference to the quality of our towns and cities. We encourage all organisations to join as Champions towards best practice urban design.
