**How it effects the community**:Success for us is having our community realise greater and more efficient options for movement and access into the future. Better sustainability, safety, efficiency and reliability in every day transport is what we want to see for Moreton Bay’s residents, including improving our transport for pedestrians, cyclists and getting better integration between modes and land uses.

**About our opportunity**

**Newly created role to meet the needs of our growing, new city**

As recently as 2023 Council was designated city status, and a successful city needs efficient and effective transport, and that transport - regardless if it’s a private, pubic or active mode - depends on a reliable network, and that network requires planning which best responds to and caters for the demands of the existing and growing population alike, be it residents, workers, students or visitors.

And to help with that planning Council requires this role, within the Integrated Transport Planning (ITP) team, to lead the establishment and achievement of multi-modal and network principles and outcomes that especially consider public transport and the context of regional, strategic and land use planning and development growth within the City of Moreton Bay (CMB).

Accordingly, as our **Lead Transport Planner**, you will have the opportunity to lead ITPD input on, responses to, and meeting the actions of, Council’s corporate and strategic documents and directions, including (but not limited to):

- Public Transport (PT) outcomes, as established by other planning studies and Council’s own PT Framework;
- key planning documents such as the LGIP and Council’s Planning Scheme (and any future new versions or amendments); and
- relevant strategies, such as Council’s Environment and Sustainability Strategy, Growth Management Strategy and the Regional Economic Development Strategy (REDS).

You will also be the primary and lead contact for all property matters referred to ITPD that are not project related, such as general road reserve or boundary and private property adjustments that would impact the existing or planned transport network.
