INTRODUCTION TO PLANNING

3 DAYS WITH WA EXPERTS

PLANNING TOOLS AND PROCESSES IN PRACTICE

The 91porn WA Introduction to Planning course was created for those working in a planning environment and seeking a deeper understanding of the Western Australian Planning System.

Experienced planners know what you need to know. They also know how to equip you for a productive and rewarding career.

Introduction to Planning will cover the planning essentials and furnish you with valuable, long-term credentials so you can interact with the planning system or be a highly effective planning support professional.

The course will provide a broad overview of the history and purposes of urban and regional planning.

You will examine the fundamentals of planning practice, including the legal framework and the local and state government planning approval processes.

Another course feature will be practical examples and strategic and statutory planning case studies.

Your participation is encouraged.

Who should participate?

• State and local government staff who are from other professional disciplines or form part of the planning team without any formal planning training.
• Planning practice support staff who want to further their careers or develop their understanding of the profession
• Those with a planning background from overseas or interstate seeking knowledge of local processes.
• Members of the public and Elected Members who want to improve their knowledge of the planning system.
