Series Overview

The Strategic Planning Series will take participants from the ‘big picture’ of why we do strategic planning, through the process of managing projects, undertaking evidence-based research and finally how to effectively review the success or otherwise of strategic planning proposals.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the series a participant who has completed all modules will be equipped with the skills to confidently manage the strategic planning process from writing the brief through to reviewing the success of strategic planning initiatives.

Approach

The approach used by the team is to provide theory backed by real life case studies and hands on projects to be completed as part of the module.

Each module is based upon a flexible learning model and will include:

• Theory and case study delivery by course presenters.
• Small group work to analyse and discuss case studies provided.
• Skills to take back to the workplace.

Delivery

Days are run as individual, self-contained modules. Participants can choose one, two, three or all four of the modules in the series. A discount of 20% applies when the 4 modules are booked together.

COURSES INCLUDED

Effective Strategic Planning

This module provides a straightforward outline of the steps and skills needed for effective strategic planning. It identifies the keys to success and the common failings of strategic plans. The course builds on the experience and knowledge of participants, with opportunities to discuss common strategic planning issues. Consideration is given to taking forward the outputs of a strategic plan and preparing these outputs for translation into a planning scheme.

Project Management for Planners

This module is designed for planners who are responsible for delivering strategic plans such as Housing Strategies, Urban Design Frameworks, Economic Development Strategies, Structure Plans and Heritage Studies. The course will look at all aspects of project management including development of the brief, project governance, community consultation, stakeholder engagement, budget management and managing the client/provider relationship. There will be particular focus on ensuring that plans can be implemented (through the planning scheme, capital works budget and other channels).

Evidence Based Research

This module is designed to help understand the process of undertaking robust and relevant research to provide the evidence base for recommendations for planning interventions such as changing a height control or determining the most appropriate zone for a parcel of land. You will learn techniques to map and measure, where to find relevant information and how to analyse data to develop meaningful and achievable recommendations.

How to do a Planning Scheme Review

This module will provide an overview of how to make the most of the planning scheme review process that needs to be completed every four years, as required under Section 12B of the Planning and Environment Act 1987. Drawing on published advice from DELWP as well as experience from many Council reviews across the state, you will learn the steps that you should follow to undertake a meaningful and thorough review, and how to identify and strategically justify changes that need to be made to your planning scheme as a result. You will leave this course with lots of tools to help you with your next review.
