Who We Are

In Melbourne, water is essential to our way of life.

As caretakers for Melbourne’s water cycle, we care for water, life and land throughout Melbourne: both its people and its biodiversity.

Each time you drink from the tap, flush a toilet, run through a yard sprinkler, or kayak down the Yarra, we’re there. Primed and ready, quietly delivering some of the world’s cleanest water for over five million residents and wildlife that call Melbourne home, just as we have for over 130 years.

If you value making it count, diving in with curiosity, and doing what’s right, you're in the right place.

About The Role
- Statutory planning decision making in accordance with all relevant statutory planning requirements and provisions, including Planning and Environment Act 1987, Building Regulations 2018, Planning Regulations, Planning Schemes and policies, and Ministerial Directions.

About You
- Extensive demonstrated understanding in the urban planning and development industry as they relate to floodplain management, waterway management and drainage, waterway health and waterway liveability required
- Demonstrated experience in managing, preparing evidence and presenting to VCAT, BAB, Ombudsman and appeal bodies required.
- Demonstrated extensive experience in delegated statutory development decision making in a referral authority, local or state government or equivalent required.
- Highly developed interpersonal skills together with high level verbal and written communication skills required.
- Ability to clearly and with evidence communicate the basis for and the rationale behind decisions verbally and in writing.

We walk the talk when it comes to flexible working - but that’s not all. Our culture of purpose, safety, results, and learning permeates everything we do.
