Author Description

Principles of Planning Law discusses the principles that underlie planning law in Australia. Rather than focusing entirely on the statutory regime of planning in each State/Territory, it considers the decisions of courts and statutes and relates the principles to the particular Australian planning systems by way of example. The book goes behind the decisions to critically examine the issues in the system both where planning schemes may have gone wrong or are confused in different areas and where planning and planning law has emerged in different forms in each State and Territory.
