At this year's general meeting on 29 September 2020, a new board of directors was elected as scheduled.
Gotthard Storz was confirmed in office as chairman of the regional association, as was his deputy Georg Grobmeyer.
Jessica Schütte, office partner of the Freiraumplanung group from Langenhagen, will assume the office of a further deputy chairperson. The group of employees/officials is represented by Gwendolyn Kusters, who works for the city of Garbsen as an open space and object planner and also represents the interests of landscape architects on the board of the Lower Saxony Chamber of Architects.
Gotthard Storz thanked Sabine Scherer and Petra Schoelkopf for their many years of commitment to the board. Both have worked tirelessly for the bdla and the interests of the bdla in various positions since 2010. While Sabine Scherer has represented the employees/civil servants on the board from the very beginning and has accompanied the Lower Saxony competition "Unser Dorf hat Zukunft" (Our Village has a Future) with great commitment on the jury during this time, Petra Schoelkopf has worked on the board first as an advisory member and then as deputy chair from 2012. For the state association, she also provided significant advice and active support to the planners' deck of the Chamber of Architects. In the federal association, her ideas and knowledge were in demand in the public relations working group, where she was particularly involved in setting up the online format "Landschaftsarchitektur heute" (Landscape Architecture Today) and designing the bdla homepage. She will continue her honorary work in the working group public relations.
Kerstin Liesecke was re-elected for a period of two years for the office of the cash auditor.
The board and management were discharged and the budget for 2020 was adopted. Gotthard Storz particularly addressed the cooperation with the chamber, the promotion of young people, the use of digital media at the next events and the continuation of the topic "Green infrastructure in town and country". For this purpose, an informative and diverse event took place in Verden directly before the general meeting, which the bdla N B significantly contributed to within the framework of its membership in the network Baukultur in Niedersachsen.
The detailed minutes of the members' meeting will soon be available in the protected members' area.

The draft law on the location of children's play areas has now been amended after taking into account a number of comments made during the hearing procedure. Among other things, the "Green Bremen" alliance had criticised the fact that only 5 sqm of play area/WE should be prescribed for WE between 40 and 70 sqm (here it was previously 10 sqm). It was demanded that this regulation be reversed and the "old" stipulation of 10 sqm playground area for WE over 40 sqm be retained as in the previous law. The bill will be amended accordingly. In future, the size of the usable play area must be a uniform 10 m² for all residential units with more than 40 m² of living space.
