Events Officer

Are you passionate about creating vibrant community experiences? If you love bringing people together and creating unforgettable experiences, we want you on our team

North Sydney Council administers the North Sydney local government area on Sydney’s picturesque lower North Shore. Our 400 employees look after 77,000 residents spread across 10 square kilometres of land on the foreshores of Sydney Harbour providing spectacular harbour views, beautiful parklands and a bustling CBD.

The role

We are looking for an enthusiastic Events Officer to plan, coordinate, and deliver a fantastic lineup of events across the North Sydney Local Government Area.

You’ll be at the heart of the action — helping to bring to life everything from lively street festivals and community markets at The Coal Loader to important Citizenship and Award Ceremonies. Working closely with Council teams and community partners, you’ll manage every detail, making sure events run smoothly and leave everyone with a smile.

This role is perfect if you’re organized, love juggling logistics, and enjoy working with lots of different people. You’ll be managing stakeholder relationships, keeping an eye on risk assessments, and collaborating across teams to create events that celebrate culture, creativity, and connection.

From dreaming up event ideas to wrapping up with a post-event review, you’ll be involved in every step of the journey — making sure North Sydney’s events are nothing short of spectacular.

The person

You’re a natural organiser with a passion for people and a knack for turning ideas into amazing experiences. You thrive in busy environments, love collaborating with different teams, and enjoy building strong relationships with community members and stakeholders. You are creative, proactive, detail-focused and will bring energy and positivity to every project
