This course is aimed at equipping planners and other built environment professionals with key knowledge about the interactions between the planning system, the feasibility of developments and the likely impacts of strategic plans on the built form in Australian cities and regions. Australian is riddled with examples of planning schemes with grand visions of the future built environment, only to see the outcomes foiled by the simple fact that developers could not make a profit “building out” the plans.
Day 1 of the course will begin by providing some examples of these failed strategic plans. The workshop will describe the main stakeholders in the development process and provide an introduction to the development of a feasibility study for a project. You will also learn about data sources for feasibility analysis, testing for feasibility, how a developer would decide how much they would pay for a block of land and at end of the session you will construct a simple “missing middle” case study.
Day 2 of the course focuses on how you might apply your feasibility skills in making better strategic plans, using a Feasibility Guide for Planners written by Dr Cameron Murray. It will also examine some common myths about the interactions between development and planning and give you an opportunity to ask a developer a question you might always have wanted to ask.
Learning Outcomes:
- Why feasibility analysis is important for planners and planning;
- An understanding of the key risks in development;
- The fundamentals of a feasibility study; and
- How to use feasibility analysis when writing a strategic plan.
Designed For:
This course is suitable for all planners and other built environment professionals who need to understand the details of property feasibility in their job. This includes strategic as well as development control planners who are interested in the real impact of their decisions on built environment outcomes.
