**Contact Officer**:
**Closing Date**:

**Our Department Values**

Our values set the direction for what it means to work in our department. They inform the standard and expectations of behaviours, skills and capabilities and the attributes we currently have, will continually work to achieve and develop, and that we use to acknowledge and attract, retain and recruit into our department.

**The opportunity we have available**

The Partnerships and Projects Division plays an important role in achieving economic and community development and unlocking potential across Australia’s regions and supports the delivery of key national priorities. Our teams develop genuine partnerships between the three levels of government, business and community to support the delivery of key national priorities. Our teams deliver government priorities right across Australia.

The Partnerships and Projects Division has five branches:

- Cities and Suburbs Unit - is home to the Australian Government’s vision for more liveable and sustainable cities, suburbs and growing regional centres. The team is developing the Government’s National Urban Policy, State of the Cities Report, delivering the regional Precincts and Partnerships Program, developing the urban Precincts and Partnerships Program and supporting the Planning Ministers’ Meeting, Heads of Planning meeting, Urban Policy Forum and Urban Policy Network.
- City and Regional Partnerships - manages infrastructure partnerships in regional and urban growth areas across the nation to deliver projects that will meet the particular needs and ambitions of local communities. These partnerships bring together all levels of government in consultative, place-based multi-jurisdictional best practice.
- Northern Australia Investments and Projects - is responsible for some of the key critical infrastructure projects across Australia’s top end. These projects will unlock the potential of northern Australia. Our work includes oversight of the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility and other large-scale projects such as the Government’s commitment to common user infrastructure at the Middle Arm Sustainable Development Precinct in Darwin and to ports in the Pilbara.
- Office of Northern Australia (ONA) - is responsible for articulating the Australian Government’s vision for the development of northern Australia, working collaboratively across northern Australian jurisdictions (Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia) as well as with First Nations, industry and investment partners. The ONA also provides executive secretariat support for the Northern Australia Indigenous Reference Group and the Northern Australia Ministerial Forum, two key advisory bodies in the development of northern Australia.
- Housing Support Branch - is responsible for developing and delivering the Australian Government’s Housing Support Program (HSP). The HSP is one of a range of programs designed to help achieve the National Housing Accord’s target of building 1.2 million new, well-located homes over 5 years from 1 July 2024.
