Development Planning Manager
  • Lead PSPs, rezonings, and planning approvals
  • Shape future projects working with a dynamic private developer
  • Work closely with and be mentored by an experienced GM
The Company

This private development group has significant landholdings across Victoria and interstate. With a strong balance sheet, long-term positions in Melbourne's growth corridors, and a bold vision for expansion, they are committed to shaping thriving new communities.

The Victorian portfolio includes a substantial pipeline of sites in "pre-PSP" or "under preparation" areas – land with strategic planning challenges but enormous potential. Securing planning is key to unlocking this value and accelerating our growth journey.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Development Planning Manager to take ownership of planning pathways across the Victorian portfolio. This newly created role will strengthen the internal planning capability, ensuring timely and commercially aligned approvals that maximise land value.

You will lead PSP engagement, rezonings, and approvals, working closely with the General Manager of Development while collaborating with government, authorities, and consultant teams to achieve strategic outcomes.

This is a rare opportunity to join a growth-minded private developer in a role that blends strategic planning expertise with commercial influence.

Key Responsibilities
  • Define and deliver planning strategies across landholdings.
  • Lead structure planning, PSP processes, and rezonings for strategic sites.
  • Build and leverage strong relationships with VPA, DEECA, councils, and agencies.
  • Manage and coordinate external planning consultants to ensure value-for-fee outcomes.
  • Identify and mitigate planning risks early to support feasibility and acquisitions.
  • Monitor policy and infrastructure changes to position Growland advantageously.
  • Support the General Manager on broader project delivery and acquisitions.
About You

We're looking for a strategic and commercially minded planner who can navigate Victoria's complex planning environment and deliver outcomes that unlock value.

You'll bring :

  • Strong expertise in Victoria's statutory and strategic planning systems.
  • Proven experience with PSPs, rezonings, and approvals in growth corridors.
  • Established relationships with planning authorities and government stakeholders.
  • Commercial acumen and an understanding of how planning impacts feasibility.
  • Experience managing consultants and multi-disciplinary project teams.
  • A collaborative, proactive style with the ability to influence high-value outcomes.
  • Experience within a development organisation will be highly regarded.
What's on Offer
  • Attractive salary package
  • A newly created role with real influence in a fast-growing private developer
  • Opportunity to shape Melbourne's future growth corridors and communities
  • Career progression alongside a high-performing development team
