Introduction
Land development projects are a key component of the work program for many surveying firms. The surveyors’ role in these projects requires them to have knowledge of subdivision infrastructure to allow them to interact with engineers, draftspeople and planners throughout the design and construction process.
In this unit students will be introduced to subdivision design methodologies for roads, drainage, water reticulation and sewerage systems according to relevant Australian Standards, planning legislation and codes of practice. The practical component of the unit will use CAD and BIM software to design and prepare a road, water and drainage infrastructure plan for the proposed construction of a new subdivision on a parcel of vacant land.

Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units.
