Introduction
This unit introduces you to aspects of leisure planning, with an emphasis on active leisure such as sport, recreation, and outdoor activity in communities. Concepts linked to social and spatial planning are used as a platform to examine factors such as frameworks for leisure planning, master planning, roles of leisure supply sectors, stakeholder engagement, resource allocation, leisure behaviour, emerging trends, and needs versus wants. Consideration of spatial data sources such as demographics (e.g. age, gender, race, income, occupation, health, housing) and leisure participation also underpins this unit.
In conjunction with the discipline theory, this unit builds on concepts of learning through practice in Year 1 of study by introducing you to more complex learning experiences.
You will be introduced to:
- discipline-based skills and knowledge in dynamic practice situations. This will include authentic and purposeful, industry-related experiences
- concepts of managing effective relationships and communicating with others
- the development and use of adaptive leadership skills and how these skills relate toinnovative and entrepreneurial practice
- the nature of responsible, accountable and reflective workplace skills, and creative and critical thinking relevant to para-professional practice
