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**:
Reporting to the Manager Strategic Waterways Planning this is a pivotal role within the Service Futures group. As the Principal Waterway Planning you will be responsible for leading long-term adaptive planning for waterway systems across the Port Phillip and Westernport region.
The role ensures that plans take a long-term and integrated catchment perspective that can be translated into the business to enable effective and efficient delivery of agreed service outcomes and drive performance.
The role will drive the collaborative development of goals, consideration of possible futures, identification of threats and high-level management activities, assessment of feasibility and costs, prioritisation, and preparation of robust recommendations. Key accountabilities include:
- Lead the preparation and implementation of Melbourne Water’s Waterways Adaptive Plans
- Oversee the Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting, and Improvement framework for the Healthy Waterways Strategy (HWS) and its delivery.
- Lead collaborative annual reporting for the HWS with internal and external stakeholders.
- Collaboratively pilot innovative waterway approaches and lead waterway investigations to support adaptive planning.
- Ensure waterway planning considers relevant emerging policy directions and science and technological development.
- Provide advice on waterway environmental, social, and economic values and associated risks and opportunities.
- Maintain strong oversight of the waterways portfolio deliverables and timing and provide strategic guidance to project teams in a complex and changing working environment.
- Provide input to Pricing Submissions, Corporate and Business Planning related to Waterways.
