Centred in the regions
The Regional Architects Association is offering ACA members a 15% discount for their upcoming multi-day June event in Yamba on the north coast of NSW. A varied program of activities will include a studio visit, walking tour, engaging speakers, social meals, house visits and a refreshing dip in the ocean.
While regional practices may be physically removed from each other, they often face shared challenges. Centred is an event to bring them together in beautiful coastal Yamba. There participants will discuss how they can influence, advocate and shape the spaces centred in their communities.
Based in Yamba, creative director Louisa Gee is passionate about her local area and championing good design in the regions. She has curated a diverse selection of speakers who will present how they have impacted their own communities, and share strategies to spark ideas for others in their own region.
The RAA’s varied program of activities will include a studio visit, walking tour, engaging speakers, social meals, house visits and a refreshing dip in the ocean!
CONTRIBUTORS
Speakers will share their own approaches of engaging with local community, speaking from both within and adjacent to the architecture profession.
The format will include panel discussions and questions extended to the audience to encourage collective discussion. What are the limitations, possibilities and strategies for guiding our regional futures?

THE LOCATION
Yamba is located on the beautiful north coast of NSW at the mouth of the Clarence River. With a modest population that swells to three times its size in summer, the popular beach town is a perfect sunny location for a winter RAA event.
The laidback nature of Yamba will provide the perfect balance between professional development, technical knowledge and a relaxing atmosphere for attendees to catch up and discuss shared experiences, challenges and milestones.
With everything centred within easy walking distance, attendees will leave feeling refreshed and energised after three days of local activities and CPD talks set amongst the charm of Yamba’s beaches.
RAA events are open to associated disciplines and interested community members as well as RAA members.
