Why study the Bachelor of Regional and Town Planning (Honours)?
Regional and town planning assists communities, companies and Governments to integrate the environmental, economic and social aspects of development from site, up to regional scales. It covers land-use planning, urban design, transport and infrastructure planning, use and extension of information technology, heritage and conservation, resource management, environmental monitoring, planning law and practice, commercial and industrial development, and policy making and implementation. Planning deals with strategic work (long-range planning) as well as structural and statutory components. The latter include the current development of the built and natural environments and the legislative framework controlling land use. Accordingly, planning is closely allied with commerce, economics, Government, sociology and the ecology disciplines. To be eligible for admission to the program, an applicant must have completed at least 42 units towards the Bachelor of Regional and Town Planning (BRTP) (2063) program, including PLAN3001; and either have a GPA of 5.5 in courses that can be credited towards the BRTP(Hons) program; or satisfy the head of school that the person is qualified for admission.
