Objective
This award is made in honour of the lifetime achievements of William Ernest Bold, Town Clerk for the City of Perth from 1900 to 1944. From the early 1900s, William Bold was Western Australia's most powerful advocate for city and suburban planning. He used his influence and skills as Western Australia's most senior local government officer to make relevant to the needs of metropolitan Perth the best ideas and ideals of the international planning fraternity while never losing sight of the fact that planning is essentially about improving life and living.
He was a founder of the town planning movement in Western Australia and one who, from the passing of the first town planning acts in the UK, realised the importance of and the need for town planning legislation. The scope of William Bold's lifetime achievements must stand as unique in the annals of the history of town planning in Western Australia. Like him, we should seek to understand the community that we serve while, in all our endeavours, aspiring to plan for a better world.
Previous recipients of this award include:
Margaret Fielman, John Treloar and Charles Johnson R澳门2023全年正版免费资料 (Life Fellow) (WA)
