urban & regional planning Start your career journey with an ECU Urban and Regional Planning Degree and you’ll be able to help create communities that people will love to live in. Ever looked at a street, a community business district or the layout of a shopping complex and thought it could have been planned better Then consider an ECU Planning Degree. Planners forecast the future residential, commercial and recreational needs of communities, and develop policies and plans for the best use of land and resources to create sustainable living environments. With ECU Urban and Regional Planning courses, the road is open to a wide range of career choices within government and private industry. YOUR FUTURE‘S IN GOOD HANDS WITH A PIA ACCREDITED DEGREE ECU’s Bachelor of Planning degree is accredited by the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA), meaning ECU Planning students acquire the right skills and knowledge, through a balance of theory and practice, to be job-ready when they graduate. STUDENTS LINK ACADEMIA WITH THE REAL WORLD Field trips and live projects are key elements of student learning and assessment, to ensure you have the necessary real-world experience to complement your studies. In 2010 students visited the Midland redevelopment authority area to observe how land is being developed into a healthy lifestyle city, where urban structure is balanced with natural landscape, and cycling, transit and walking are promoted as the dominant transport forms. HELPING TO CREATE A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE In cities like Perth, we can no longer assume that the water resources we currently have will be the same in future years. Suburbs will need to be designed around the availability of water, and transport systems developed to reduce our reliance on energy intensive transportation. The City of Wanneroo, in partnership with property developer, Cedar Woods, has constructed their EcoVision Demonstration Home project. This project offers the community practical and innovative ideas to help reduce the cost of living, and minimise our impact on the environment. ECU’s Centre for Planning has been involved in the project since its inception and ECU’s Faculty of Business and Law is a proud supporter of the City of Wanneroo and a Gold Sponsor of the EcoVision project. ECU PLANNING LECTURER HELPS STUDENTS OBTAIN WORK PLACEMENTS Through senior lecturer Dr Edward Andre’s support and industry links, ECU Graduate Diploma of Planning student, Matt Robinson and Bachelor of Planning student, Daniel Bouwer, have been fortunate in gaining workplace experience to complement their studies. Matt has recently completed work experience over the summer holidays with the City of Wanneroo and Daniel will complete a four-week placement with the WA Young Planners in the East Pilbara region during the 2011 semester break. The WA Young Planners work placement is a new initiative designed to interest young planners in working in regional areas. Dr Andre said, “It’s important to encourage our students to assist with creating socially cohesive, liveable and sustainable communities. It helps them take theory out of the classroom and apply it in the real-world. It also provides an opportunity to explore the different aspects of the planning industry and identify their area of interest.” 110
Thanks to opportunities ECU has provided, I now have an interesting and fulfilling job in a field I’m passionate about. Throughout high school I was interested in geography but I was unsure how I could apply these skills in the workplace. I attended an ECU information evening and this helped me to decide on studying Planning at ECU. The aspect I enjoy most about ECU’s Planning degree is the wide range of subjects available including ecology, business studies, geography and community work. In my second year of uni I received a scholarship which secured me a 12-week paid work experience at the City of Joondalup. At the conclusion of my scholarship I was offered a permanent position. The ability to combine what I have learnt at university with real‐life experience has helped me to understand how it all comes together.
