Graduate Certificate in Development Planning
It is now widely accepted that sustainable and successful human settlements must be properly planned. Urban and regional planners play an important role in shaping development and land use in cities, towns and regions to promote public interest in the development process. Planners need to assess and consider issues relating to housing, ecological systems, community development, transport systems and economic development. Planners work with a range of government, community, industry and market-based stakeholders in the preparation and implementation of plans.
The Graduate Certificate in Development Planning provides an introduction to the principles, practices, and techniques used by urban and regional planners. A distinguishing characteristic of the course is the use of interdisciplinary knowledge and techniques to address environmental, social, and design issues of concern to the community. It is suitable if you do not have a background in planning or if you are a practicing planner outside Australia.

Job Opportunity Potential
Innovation in urban planning and development will also occur through technological advances. Smart technologies, big data and the Internet of Things are opening new ways of developing knowledge and seeing cities and regions. Although these technologies will further enhance the analysis of planning problems, cultural competency and humanism are also critically important for working with communities and formulating responsive designs and solutions.
