Description

The course provides an overview of the legal system and environmental planning law with particular reference to the Australian experience. The course targets three main foci: planning law, planning administration and land valuation. Planning law considers historical and theoretical issues in law and jurisprudence. The administrative context within which planning operates as a function of government is addressed, principally the role and function of statutory bodies in the planning and environment area. The property dimension covers fundamental issues of property rights, definitions of value, methods of valuation, and compensation and betterment. Lectures and seminar presentations are involved with assessment based on written work and an examination.
