The WA Women in Planning Network (WPN) was established in 2020 to provide a dedicated forum and advocacy platform for women in the industry. The WPN seeks to connect, inspire and support women in the planning and built environment allied professions by providing networking and professional development opportunities, and facilitating important discussions. Supported by PIA WA Division, the WPN will continue to hold a series of events to promote a growing membership. Events are mainly low-cost and hosted at varied venues and formats to suit busy lifestyles.
