As Movement and Place practice was being introduced across New South Wales, many planners, engineers and practitioners were encountering the framework for the first time. While the policy direction was clear, there was a strong need to build confidence and practical understanding of how the approach could be applied in everyday planning and design decisions.

Crossley Transport Planning supported the development and delivery of a state-wide training program designed to translate Movement and Place policy into practical skills. Working in partnership with the Institute for Public Policy and Governance at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), we helped design a one-day training course that combined theory, discussion and hands-on learning.

The course was structured around practical activities that encouraged participants to apply Movement and Place thinking in real-world contexts. This included site visits, observation exercises and collaborative street design workshops where participants tested ideas about how streets function as both movement corridors and places.

Stephanie Crossley co-facilitated the training program, delivering the course across New South Wales to planners, engineers and transport practitioners from government and industry. Over a three-year period the program delivered 32 training sessions, helping practitioners build confidence in applying Movement and Place principles to projects, policies and everyday decision-making.

The program played an important role in supporting the broader adoption of Movement and Place practice by translating policy concepts into practical tools and shared learning experiences.
