About Us

Moonee Valley City Council is a vibrant municipality located in the inner north-western suburbs of Melbourne. A welcoming, culturally diverse and inclusive city, Moonee Valley is host to many beautiful parks and reserves, thriving shopping strips and vibrant arts venues.

• In partnership with the Coordinator Strategic Planning and Manager City Futures, lead the implementation of MV2040 including the development of Neighbourhood Plans, and translating MV2040 actions into clear deliverables for the team;
• Provide principal level support and guidance to other planners in the team with all strategic planning matters; including ensuring the effective operation of Planning Scheme Amendment processes, and all aspects of Planning Panel Hearings; and
• Managing projects which are of a complex, controversial and high-risk nature.

About You

To be suitable for this position, you will possess:

• Degree or postgraduate qualification in Urban Planning, Social Sciences, Applied Science or related discipline, combined with extensive and diverse experience in strategic planning in Victoria.
• Demonstrated specialist experience in strategic planning or planning policy development, particularly in the Victorian Planning system.
• Extensive leadership experience with the ability to coach and mentor senior staff members in the areas of planning policy and planning scheme amendment processes.
• Experience in the development and interpretation of policies and strategies for informing the future growth and development of a municipality.    
• Extensive experience in managing major planning projects and managing consultants.
