Every year NZPI / Te Kōkiringa Taumata acknowledge planners who are making a significant contribution to our profession and continue to do so year on year. In 2022 we’ve recognised the impressive work of ten members at events across the country, celebrated this week in conjunction with World Town Planning Day.
These ten members were all nominated by their peers and were unequivocally supported by the Awards Committee in being awarded Distinguished Service Awards.
The Distinguished Service Award acknowledges four categories of excellence; a significant contribution by a member over many years to the practice of planning; research that advances the theory and practice of planning; national or international recognition of a member as a leader in the planning profession; or a major contribution to the affairs of the Institute.
This year NZPI saw a larger than usual number of high calibre nominations, and as a profession we’re honoured to have these members who continue to contribute so richly to planning in Aotearoa. From the north of the motu to the south, the recipients of a Distinguished Service Award for 2022 are:
