Pre-requisite: 51005+51180
This unit builds on the knowledge gained in 51180 Local Government and examines the specific powers of local government in Queensland, with regard to land use planning, development control and environmental protection, placing particular emphasis on the statutory provisions regarding town planning, development approval and subdivision. As well, students will study building control, environmental management and control, traffic control, health and welfare. Note: Following the University's decision in late 1996 to `phase out' the BBus (Local Government) major, this unit will be offered for the last time in 1998. As such, any continuing students who still wish to complete the Local Government major - and are yet to complete this unit - must do so in 1998.
