The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Senior Development Manager to lead front-end development and complex rezoning initiatives across a major strategic industrial landholding. This role requires strong expertise in navigating planning frameworks, stakeholder engagement, and zoning transitions to unlock future development opportunities.

  • Providing strategic insight into planning pathways, approvals, and stakeholder engagement.

To be successful in this role you will:

  • Bring deep expertise in land zoning, planning approvals, and front-end development.
  • Demonstrate strong stakeholder engagement and relationship management skills, particularly with government and planning authorities.
  • Have experience leading rezoning projects with environmental and heritage complexities.
  • Be commercially astute, with a track record of delivering outcomes in multi-disciplinary teams.
  • Thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment with a clear focus on long-term strategic outcomes.
