Property Development PRO134A

Property development is like a system made up of a series of interconnected parts. Some of these parts, in no particular order, include the building components, materials, plans, sketches, covered in our subject Introduction to the Property Industry, to planning controls, approvals, assessing feasibility, securing financing, the decision to keep or sell and not to mention the actual construction, all of which make up the development process.

In this subject, students will develop the foundation knowledge and skills to enable them to conduct site feasibility on a hypothetical subdivision, ensuring relevant planning controls are met, applications completed whilst recognising the importance of sustainability and maintaining ethical standards.

Introduction to the Property Industry PRO120A

The property industry is dynamic and diverse, employing more people than any other sector. A diverse industry also means there is a range of areas offering varied opportunities to suit different skills, personalities and career interests, with many areas being interrelated.

This foundation subject aims to provide students with a well- rounded understanding of key terms and concepts, principles, practices and theory pertaining to areas including property development and investment, valuation and management allowing subsequent subjects to build upon these foundations.
