Careers
There is currently a national shortage of planners. As a planning graduate from UniSA, you may find employment in federal, state and local government departments, private planning consultancies and as advisors to property development firms. There are opportunities to work in city, regional and country locations. Private consultancies vary in nature: smaller local firms provide planning advice to local authorities and individuals, while larger firms may have interstate and overseas offices and may be engaged in regional development projects in Asian or Pacific countries.
Starting salaries for Urban and Regional Planners graduates were approximately A$50,000 per annum in 2011 according to Payscale Australia. Graduates can expect to be earning A$70,000 per annum within two years of graduating.
