Course Description
This course provides an introduction to heritage issues within the built environment. It adopts the view that heritage places are those that the community values, for whatever reason, and wishes to keep.

Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
Students will gain an understanding of the nexus between heritage, valued elements of the built environment and urban design and will develop a capability to understand "place" and the relevant policy framework, assess the significance of "place", and develop policy and appropriate guidelines and controls, within the Victorian legislative framework.
