An Introduction to Property Economics

A short course delivered by Professor Peter Phibbs from Sydney University’s Urban Management and Planning Program, and Stewart Lawler a Development Consultant.

The session will cover:

some basic economic concepts behind property economics.
developer behaviour and motivations
how developers interact with the planning system and the community.

Some of the questions covered include:

Does increased density always help?
Do developers make super profits?
Why is extra density more useful sometimes than others?
What is the difference between planning bonuses and development charges?
What is the role of the landowner?
When can the community be the most effective?

This is a 1.5 hours condensed session requested by REDWatch. It will also serve as a taster for a day long course that Peter Phibbs and Stewart Lawler will run for those interested in the topic in greater detail.
