Planning

Description

Planning is centrally concerned with land-use and related environmental, social and economic activities within a legislative, administrative and political context. Its distinctive approach lies in integration and coordination both of policy development and its implementation, by statutory and other means. It is a process for assisting the public, private and voluntary sectors in making choices about land-uses and related decisions for the conservation and development of land and its resources, in ways conducive to sustaining the natural, economic and social environment of Australia.

Physical, financial, social, legal, cultural, environmental and historical forces all shape these planning processes. For cities, suburbs and regions, planning targets the development, improvement, conservation and general management of the environment. Areas of specialisation include land use planning, social planning, transport planning and regional planning.
