If you’re motivated by projects working at the intersection of public and private sectors and want to directly contribute to changing the face of Victoria, the opportunity to join our Precincts team and support project delivery and future visioning for our Docklands precinct could be the right role for you.

**About the roles**:
Melbourne's Docklands is one of Australia’s largest urban renewal projects, reconnecting central Melbourne with its historic waterfront. Comprised of eight distinct sub-precincts, Docklands continues to evolve and is home to more than 17,500 residents and 73,000 workers.

With some areas of Docklands being master-planned and others nearing completion, there is plenty of scope for Development Managers to join the Docklands team and gain exposure to a broad range of tasks including administering development agreements, asset management, financial management, contract management, stakeholder engagement, strategic planning, placemaking and the delivery of small infrastructure and arts projects.

Mentoring and guiding Assistant Development Managers and working closely with the senior leadership team, you will collaborate with development partners, Government agencies and key stakeholders to achieve project milestones, targets and outcomes.
