Our client is looking for a Town Planner to join their Brisbane team.

They are a busy and growing town planning consultancy working across a diverse range of development projects throughout Queensland. They pride themselves on providing practical, commercial and solutions-focused planning advice to their clients.

This is a great opportunity for a planner looking to develop their skills in a hands-on consultancy environment, working directly with experienced senior planners and directors across all stages of the development approval process.

• Reviewing and interpreting planning schemes, legislation and planning policies;

• Undertaking planning research, analysis and due diligence;

• Preparing planning reports, correspondence and other application documentation;

• Assisting senior planners and directors with complex development matters;

• Managing your own workload to meet project deadlines and budgets; and

• Developing practical and commercially focused solutions to planning and development issues.

The role emphasises technically high-quality work, independent analysis, commercial problem-solving and delivering outcomes within client expectations.

Why Join Our Client?

You won't be pigeonholed into one type of planning work. You'll gain exposure to a wide variety of projects and clients and have the opportunity to be involved in projects from the initial planning investigation through to approval.

You'll work closely with senior planners and directors, with genuine opportunities for mentoring, professional development and increasing responsibility as your experience grows.

Our client is looking for someone who wants to learn, contribute and develop into a well-rounded consultant, rather than simply process applications.
