Planning Policy Team Leader

Arun continues to experience significant growth. It has one of the highest housing requirements of any non-metropolitan council in the country.

Suitable candidates should be able to demonstrate knowledge of planning policy/design considerations particularly an understanding of strategic planning issues, how to interpret them simply and translate complex issues into development management policies. You will need the skills, drive, and commitment to lead a Team and deal with a complex and varied planning policy workload, together with excellent communication.
