This unit provides a foundation for advanced studies in environmental planning and management. The characteristics and content of environmental planning are presented, along with the various types of environmental plans. The historical development and current state of planning theory is examined and located in the context of wider social theory. Various theoretical positions are debated, and their importance for informing planning practice analysed, including coverage of topics such as rationality and governance. Planning methods are described, including strategic planning, adaptive planning and management, and community participation. Australian planning institutions are reviewed, including federal, state, regional and local planning policies, processes and legislation. Important planning competencies in mediation and negotiation, evaluation, and writing plans are addressed through problem-based exercises.
