Public space takes many spatial forms, including parks, streets, sidewalks and footpaths that connect, playgrounds of recreation, marketplaces, but also edge space between buildings or roadsides.
This workshop will aim to inspire planning and design professionals to consider different user experiences and needs, as well as ‘think outside of the box’ when shaping safe and inclusive public spaces. During the workshop, you will work collaboratively in teams to curate a set of planning and design responses to reimagine public spaces located across different spots in Melbourne.
This workshop welcomes all gender identities, and is open to all planning or design professionals at any stage of their career.
Team registrations of up to 5 are welcome, with members from diverse disciplines highly encouraged. If you do not have a full team, please register yourself and any other individuals you would like to be in the same team as and we will pair you up with other individuals who are attending on the day.
Catering will be provided at the event.
This event is held at a wheelchair accessible venue.

Peter Malley
Peter has been a consulting traffic engineer for 20 years with a passion for master planning and lending his transport engineering expertise to large-scale developments. He has contributed expert advice to a range of significant projects including town centres, residential subdivisions, mixed-use developments, healthcare, and educational facilities throughout his career.
In 2020 Peter was involved in a cycling accident that left him a paraplegic which has led to a newfound focus on identifying accessibility gaps in our environment. Through this new perspective on life, Peter has become aware of areas that require renewed focus on the design, mobility, safety and independence elements within community and residential infrastructure to ensure they meet the needs of those with disabilities.
