Planning is a profession that now focuses on more sustainable development. As an urban and regional planner, you will be seeking a balance between environmental, social and economic development.
Planners work in the public and private sector. As a planner working for the state government, you will be dealing with the major planning issues of our time. These include:
* better managing car-dependent societies
* planning affordable housing and services for rapidly-growing Australian cities
* revitalising regional and rural economies
* combatting sea-level rises and drier climatic conditions.
