Introduction

The role of Government Architect now exists in each Australian State and Territory, except Tasmania where the position lapsed with a change of government in 2012.

 

While key functions and day-to-day activities of each Government Architect differ from state to state, the common objective is to improve the design and procurement of public buildings and spaces, to enhance the quality of the built environment and to build a legacy for our future.

 

Each Government Architect has a whole-of-government leadership role providing strategic, independent expert advice to Government about architecture and urban design and promotes awareness of how good design contributes to great places and successful urban environments.

 

The Government Architects Network of Australia (GANA) is a formalised, national collaborative exchange offering valuable information and research transfer; so that each contributor is able to benefit from the knowledge, range of skills, experience and resources of other Government Architects from around the country.

 

GANA Role

  • Promote GANA as a leading national authority on built environment design matters, providing strategic, independent expert advice to Federal and State Governments about landscape architecture and urban design.

 

  • Work towards the establishment of an Australian Government Architect to bring the work carried out by each state Government Architect to a central table.

 

  • Approach the Federal Government with the proposal to form a recognised body, such as COAG, with the aim to improve the quality of the built environment.

About GANA
