The AIA SA Chapter President, Tim Horton, is concerned his state will fail to capitalise on the Federal Government’s infrastructure programs without the appointment of a Government Architect.

“The appointment of a South Australian Government Architect would help ensure the best integrated design outcomes across government.”

Mr Horton said he is hopeful of some “good news” from the State Government before the end of the year.
