Principles of Planning Law

Principles of Planning Law discusses the principles that underlie plannign 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 decision and critically examines the issues in the system; where planning schemes may have gone wrong or are confused in different areas; and why planning and planning law has emerged in different forms in each State and Territory.

Readership: Students studying planning law as part of their undergraduate or postgraduate degrees in law, planning and architecture.
