Rationale

A significant component of the Australian economy revolves around aspects of property development, and the industry which employs a large proportion of the nation's workforce, directly or indirectly. Property development covers the public sector and the private sector, including commercial, retail, industrial, residential, tourism and government. Some property developers will dispose of property assets during or upon completion, while others will retain the assets as investments for long periods of time, and this will significantly affect the issues to be considered during the property development stages. Numerous stakeholders are engaged in the property development process for diverse reasons and objectives including real estate agencies, property managers, construction and maintenance, legal practitioners, professional consultants, tenants, landlords, financial institutions, investors, and stockbrokers. An understanding of the potential role of these parties and their needs is critical to an understanding of property development.

Synopsis

This course examines the underlying principles of land use and property development. It considers property development in a range of sectors including commercial, residential, industrial, and government, as well as the broad range of associated stakeholders. It considers the full life cycle of property development from conceptualisation through to handover and occupation by end users. It briefly examines the legal environment within which property development takes place, as well as the principles related to design, marketing, construction and sustainability. It examines at a basic level the financial and economic principles associated with property development.

  1. demonstrate mastery of theoretical knowledge in and reflect critically on theory and professional practice in sustainable property development;
