Being a member of the City Strategy team within City Futures, you will have outstanding strategic thinking skills, balanced with an ability to deliver technical solutions for transport projects. The role has a wide sphere of influence and responsibility for providing accurate and timely advice to stakeholders and senior management that is both innovative and pragmatic.

- Implement key actions in the Reimagining Campbelltown City Centre Master Plan and (City Centre) Integrated Sustainable Mobility Plan, with a focus on facilitating mode shift towards sustainable transport (public and active), whilst also recognising the requirement for and requirements of other transport modes
- Develop strategic transport plans, studies, strategies, policies, processes and documentation that foster an integrated approach to transport, urban design, land use and economics
- Develop high-quality communication collateral including written documentation, graphic outputs and presentations that meet the needs of the intended audience

**The Opportunity**
Campbelltown’s City Centre is one of the six metropolitan clusters that will anchor the Western Parkland City, making it one of the most important centres in Greater Sydney. With significant population growth and development already underway in the LGA and Western Sydney more broadly, as well as upcoming connections to the new Western Sydney Airport, there are exciting opportunities presenting themselves at Campbelltown.
This is a unique career opportunity to join high profile projects that emphasise a place-based and people-focused approach. The City is rapidly transforming from a suburban centre into one of the most significant cities within Greater Sydney.
In addition to Council's own projects, there are a number of upcoming State Government transport projects in and around the City Centre to support anticipated growth and investment. These include new Metro, Rapid Bus to Western Sydney Airport and a regional cycling network. Campbelltown is earmarked as a key interchange of the Fast Rail network, one of only two Fast Rail interchanges in all of Sydney.
