This is a fantastic opportunity to gain hands-on experience in property management within a fast-paced, high-performing local government team. You'll be exposed to a diverse and dynamic portfolio of work from property acquisitions and disposals to lease administration and stakeholder engagement where no two days are the same.

  • Liaising with internal and external stakeholders, including legal advisors and community groups.
  • Preparing reports and briefings for Council and executive leadership.
  • Investigating and resolving property-related issues such as encroachments and illegal occupation of council land.

What You will bring

  • Strong understanding of property legislation including the Local Government Act and Retail Leases Act.
  • Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and use initiative.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Basic knowledge of conveyancing, valuations, and land use planning.
  • Confidence in preparing reports and handling legal documentation.
  • A collaborative mindset and willingness to contribute to a small, supportive team

A 9-day fortnight may be considered for the right candidate, supporting work-life balance while contributing meaningfully to the team's success.
