ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT

PLA4ESI

2014

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

Modern planning legislation, including the Victorian Planning and Environment Act 1987, requires that the environmental, economic and social impacts of proposed development are considered in decision making processes, particularly for major developments. Students will not be provided with the knowledge and skills necessary to undertake such assessment but rather, to equip them with knowledge and skills to enable them as practising planners to more adequately supervise the work of consultants and/or to critique studies undertaken by other agencies and/or consultants.
