  • Climate Action and Biodiversity
  • Sustainable Communities and Placemaking (large scale and small scale)
  • Research and Innovation Planning

Additionally, there will be a President’s Award and the winner will be nominated by the Council.

This year’s judging panel will comprise of Mary Mac Mahon MIPI (Irish Planning Institute President), Charlotte Sheridan MIPI (RIAI President), Paul Hogan FIPI (Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage), Henk van der Kamp FIPI (Secretary General of the ECTP-CEU, the umbrella organisation for spatial planning institutes in Europe and past president of the IPI), Terry Prendergast MIPI (former board member of An Bord Pleanála) and John O’Hara MIPI (former Dublin  City Council Planning Officer).

Mary Mac Mahon, President of the Irish Planning Institute said: “The Irish Planning Institute is delighted to host the Irish Planning Awards for the first time since 2020. We have received 48 entries which demonstrate how active our members have been, even through Covid and I look forward to judging the innovative planning projects  submitted. The awards provide an excellent opportunity to promote the contribution of planning to society and highlight the positive work being carried out across the sector and the role of planning in delivering quality and sustainable development.”
