UDB101 Stewardship of Land

This interdisciplinary unit will introduce students to the characteristics of land and land tenure with a focus on land use and property rights. The particular issues of native title, land contamination, heritage and alternative utility will be covered. Thereafter the property development process will be described in general terms and emphasis placed on the impact of environmental and social factors on the financial evaluation. The final component will cover the management of land, both urban and regional. Case studies will demonstrate the part that each discipline plays in the stewardship of land and its development.
