Planning for freight and logistics extends beyond more than just industrial zones. As our post-COVID purchasing habits accelerate trends toward the uber economy, click and collect, and home deliveries, planning systems need to change to keep up with the pace.

We need to rethink how we approach delivery areas, permissibility of logistics as a land use in our centres and continue the 24/7 delivery approach to our shopping centres going forward.

Our expert panel consisted of Charlotte Brabant, Troy Bryant, Andrew Simons and Daniela Vujic who discussed their insights on the ‘Planning for the Urban Freight Revolution paper’. The discussion was moderated by Lexia Wilson.
