It does so in the context of planning research and practice in Australia, a place that has been dominated by British planning traditions but is now subject to a more global set of values and expectations about the theory and practice of planning. The main domestic outlets for Australian planning research are two journals: Urban Policy and Research and Australian Planner, which is associated with the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA). To provide a snapshot of one element of the state of planning research in Australia, data is presented on the profile of papers published in Australian Planner. Planning research is also presented at conferences. The main conferences for practising planners are the annual state conferences and annual national congress of the PIA, which provide opportunities for planners to present their research.
