- Provide principal level guidance within the Locally Significant Precincts branch and lead the development of integrated land use and transport planning for locally significant precincts, with consideration of major transport corridors, priority transport modes (such as cycling), and sub-networks of economic significance (such as ports) in achieving coordinated and integrated transport and land use outcomes.
- Provide principal level guidance within the Locally Significant Precincts branch to lead the development of frameworks for prioritising transport routes and corridors, interchanges and any other aspect of the transport system that will improve network performance, within the context of locally significant precincts.
- Collaborate with other transport agencies as required to review, undertake and coordinate DTP’s role in relation to integrated development opportunities, including the Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP), focusing on achieving integrated transport and land use outcomes.
- Analyse the performance of the transport system and refine and refresh these transport plans and strategies to ensure system performance goals and service outcomes are met, within the context of locally significant precincts.
- Understand and plan for the network implications of emerging transport trends and ensure that precinct, corridor and modal plans are kept fresh and relevant in the face of changes to transport demand, emerging technology, and changing social preference, within the context of locally significant precincts.
- Prepare and oversee the development of complex briefs and presentations on land use implications to inform transport strategy and network planning.
- Provide Principal level direction to transport agencies as they develop plans for their components of the network and ensure these are consistent with the department’s transport plans and strategies.

You should demonstrate team commitment and the ability to translate organisational strategy into meaningful long-term plans for your area of responsibility, motivating others to achieve goals.
Your influence and negotiation skills should extend to gaining agreement for proposals, building support for ideas, and utilising indirect channels of influence. You will excel in strategic planning, thinking at the big picture level and translating strategic direction into day-to-day activities. Environmental scanning is essential, involving monitoring external sources and identifying trends, while your written communication should be clear, concise, and grammatically correct. You should excel in stakeholder management, building mutually beneficial partnerships and resolving stakeholder issues innovatively. Integrity and a commitment to the public interest are vital, as is conceptual and analytical ability, creativity, and innovation.
