Noteworthy topics include theories, practices and techniques of strategic planning; implementation; public interests and goal setting; decision-making; monitoring, evaluation and assessment; issues of location and spatial structure; concepts of development management; use regulation: practice of zoning; development regulation; use of revenue generation and spending powers of government; planned comprehensive development including major projects in Victoria. A number of case studies are provided by guest lecturers.
