PROP19002 - Property & Asset Management

General Information

Unit Synopsis

Historically, property management was limited to day-to-day operational and administrative tasks associated with the functioning of commercial property. However, the holding and use of real property has emerged over the past several decades (and continues to develop) as a critical component of corporate strategic asset management. It is now widely recognised that corporate investment objectives can only be achieved through management that maximises the value of all asset classes, including the property portfolio held by a corporate entity. This has resulted in a hierarchical approach to property asset management, from corporate real estate management, through facilities management to routine operational management. This unit will provide you, as a prospective property professional, with a clear appreciation of the functions, roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders at the various levels of the property asset management hierarchy within the broader context of the economic, legal, physical and financial parameters that govern the property industry. As an advanced unit, this unit builds on, and assumes basic competencies garnered from the units, you the student have already completed in the Bachelor of Property course.

Assessment Task Weighting
1. Written Assessment 20%
2. Written Assessment 30%
3. Examination 50%

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).
