1 week ago


Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Holding Redlich Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

About The Team
Our Brisbane Planning & Environment team sits within a national practice group that acts for a vast range of clients in areas across both advisory and litigious matters across planning, environment, infrastructure and cultural heritage.

The team works with clients across both the private and public sectors (local, state and federal).

The team is led by Wendy Evans who is recognised as one of the states leading planning lawyers. With a background as a qualified town planner and as an expert Court witness alongside her current position as Fellow, Queensland Board Director and National Vice-President of the Planning Institute of Australia, Wendy is passionate about this area of practice.

About The Role
We are looking for a Brisbane-based lawyer with 3-4 years of post-admission experience in planning and environment. Alongside Wendy and our SC (Nicole Besgrove) you will play a key role in the team and be offered excellent mentoring from two of the markets leading lawyers.

Joining the team you can expect to gain exposure to:

  • development strategy work
  • infrastructure, environmental and cultural heritage work
  • statutory planning tasks
  • planning and environment court work

About you
You will want to be a part of what we intend to be, the pre-eminent planning and environment practice in Queensland. The opportunity is to join our leading, but presently small and close knit team, to help grow and shape the practice.

You will need a genuine passion for this area of law, and an openness to challenge and growth. You will enjoy working across multiple matters, both front and back end, with senior lawyers who will provide you with mentoring at this key stage of your career.

Your experience will have been gained from a well regard planning and environment team (either in private practice or in government) where you will have been provided exposure to planning and/or environment matters. If you haven't done Court work already, you will definitely need to be interested in doing so

You will be self-motivated and have a healthy amount of drive. Efficiency, integrity, collaboration and excellence will form part of your values set.
