Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Campbelltown City Council Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

"Campbelltown, where opportunity comes to life" is a growing, vibrant city that offers an abundance of unexpected delights.

On the outer south-western suburbs of Sydney, only 55km from the Sydney CBD and as the capital of the Macarthur region, it has a major role to play as part of one of the fastest growing regions in Australia.

Supported by rich cultures, natural landscapes and positioned on the edge of Sydney, it pushes the boundaries with new ideas and fresh thinking.

About The Role

This is a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity, leading a small team in a newly created role.

Reporting to the Executive General Manager City Planning & Corporate Services, you will provide strategic advice to business units and senior management on significant legal matters and represent the Council's interests at tribunal, panel and court hearings including NSW Land and Environment Court.

Your key areas of focus will be environment and planning matters, including regulatory approvals (development consent), development certification and compliance issues, the compulsory acquisition of land as well as land contamination, ecological and heritage issues.

About You

Holding relevant tertiary qualifications in Law, you will ideally possess a current NSW practicing certificate and a minimum of 7 years post-qualification experience in private practice or a similar in-house legal position.

You will bring a significant track record of providing high quality legal services ideally within a government context and understanding of the associated unique challenges. This includes, but not limited to litigation, planning, property and environmental law.

Key to your own success will be your ability to communicate confidently across Council and demonstrate strong leadership in delivering consistently high levels of service through timely and accurate legal advice.

Familiarity of relevant legislation within the Local Government context is preferable as is knowledge and understanding of the changing nature of the issues faced by the local government sector. Lastly, the position will suit an individual who is passionate about community and who has a strong sense of integrity and authenticity.
