  • Strong understanding of planning legislation, State planning policies, and the plan-making process.
  • Demonstrated experience negotiating agreements and achieving positive community outcomes.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence, negotiate, and build strong stakeholder relationships.
  • Strong project management skills and the ability to balance competing priorities.
