Are you ready to play a key role in shaping Queensland's transport future? We're looking for an experienced and strategic planning professional to lead technical advice on rail, public transport, and active transport development matters. As Principal Planner in our Rail and Public Transport Technical Advice (RAPTTA) Team, you'll lead complex development assessments, provide expert statutory and transport planning advice and help shape policy and guidelines that impact transport infrastructure across the state. If you're passionate about planning and thrive in a collaborative environment, we'd love to hear from you.

In the role of Principal Planner (Rail and Public Transport Technical Advice Team) some of your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading and managing the timely technical assessment of complex development proposals and infrastructure designations in relation to railways, public passenger transport, corridor protection, state-controlled roads, and active transport matters in accordance with statutory requirements, guidelines and procedures.
  • Leading the provision of timely technical transport and statutory planning advice and support relating to the application of the Planning Act 2016, the Transport Planning and Coordination Act 1994 and Transport Infrastructure Act 1994 regarding TMR's public and active transport interests.
  • Leading the provision of technical input into the preparation of policies, codes and technical guidelines relating to TMR's transport interests in development assessment and other processes under the Planning Act 2016.
  • Leading research and analysis on complex planning and development assessment matters and provide recommendations to both internal and external stakeholders.
  • Leading consultation and negotiation with internal and external stakeholders on development assessment matters to ensure results are achieved.
  • Fostering effective working relationships with key stakeholders and represent the department at relevant meetings.
  • Providing support and mentoring to junior colleagues in development assessment and statutory processes.

To thrive in this role, you will need to demonstrate the following:
  • Highly developed town planning skills and significant development assessment experience that you will use to prepare technical advice on a range of rail and public transport planning matters.
  • Excellent written and spoken communication skills and experience preparing technical reports and briefings and communicating complex technical material to less technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to consistently achieve quality results and work as part of a team to achieve high quality results through professionalism and persistence.
  • Ability and experience working in a dynamic environment balancing competing timeframes while also achieving high quality results.
  • Ability to establish and maintain positive working relationships with stakeholders from across a range of areas including within TMR and external to TMR.

Additional Benefits This Role Offers
  • Work and Life balance, including 'flex time' and flexible work arrangements and a working from home option.
  • Beautiful City location close to active and public transport, with just over a 10 minute walk from Central Station.
  • Work with a supportive team, with a high level of training and development invested in each staff member.
  • Generous leave and superannuation.

Joining the RAPTTA team will give you a down-to-earth working environment with a highly skilled and collaborative team, along with competitive remuneration, training and benefits. There will be a wide range of opportunities for you to grow and develop your skills and progress your career. So, if you love working in a dynamic and ambitious environment, our team is for you.

Please tell us about any additional support or adjustments, such as interpreting services, physical requirements, or assistive technologies, that will better enable you to shine.
