Local Government and Planning Law - LAW861
This unit examines the practical operation of environmental regulation at the local level and contemporary issues in planning law. This unit examines councils as significant bodies, usually overlooked as mechanisms of government regulation, and in particular the environmental responsibilities of local government. This unit provides an understanding of the workings of land use regulation, in particular under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (NSW), and the underlying environmental, social, cultural and economic objectives of the key legislation. A critical analysis is undertaken of the effectiveness of the current regulatory regime including reform proposals and options.
