About the Opportunity

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. If you're ready to take initiative, work autonomously, and thrive in a busy environment, this role offers the perfect platform to grow your property career.

  • 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.
