We are entering an exciting period of change as our team grows to take on full construction management enforcement, including construction management plans, for the City of Boroondara. This has resulted in a new role coming across to our team and continue delivery first-class regulatory services to the community to protect our assets, protect public safety and support projects to completion as quickly as possible to minimise community disruption.

About the role

Reporting to the Team Leader Construction Management Enforcement, you will undertake inspections of building and development sites to ensure compliance with relevant legislation, permits, approved Construction Management Plans and Council requirements.

You will investigate breaches, prepare enforcement documentation and support compliance outcomes through education, negotiation and, where required, formal enforcement action. The role also provides guidance and support to less experienced officers and contributes to continuous improvement initiatives across the team.

This is a field-based role that operates across the municipality and includes occasional after-hours and weekend work. There is no hybrid work offered as the success of our team comes from working together and providing support to fellow-officers to meet daily changes in demand and priorities.

About you

You are an experienced compliance professional with sound knowledge of construction management, asset protection, local laws or a related regulatory environment.

You have demonstrated experience undertaking investigations, interpreting legislation, collecting evidence and making well-reasoned compliance decisions.



Your ability to communicate clearly and confidently allows you to manage difficult conversations while maintaining a respectful and customer-focused approach.

You are highly organised, able to manage competing priorities and comfortable working independently in a dynamic service environment. You enjoy collaborating with others, sharing your expertise and contributing to positive outcomes for the community.

Key responsibilities

You will conduct scheduled and proactive inspections of construction sites and related activities to ensure compliance with Council Local Laws, the Road Management Act, the Planning and Environment Act, the Environmental Protection Act and other relevant legislation.

You will investigate complaints, gather evidence, maintain detailed records and apply appropriate enforcement measures to achieve compliance and protect public safety, community amenity and Council assets.

You will contribute to process improvements, maintain accurate information within Council systems and support the delivery of high-quality services across the Construction Management and broader Civic Services teams.

At the City of Boroondara, we are committed to creating a vibrant and inclusive city that meets the needs and aspirations of our community. Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and we foster a culture built on collaboration, respect, and innovation. You’ll be part of a team that values integrity, empowers others, and inspires possibility. We offer a supportive environment where your contributions make a real difference to the community we serve.





We provide ongoing professional development opportunities and a team-oriented team environment where your skills and ideas are valued.

Employment Requirements

Completion of a Certificate IV in Government Compliance, Diploma in Justice or equivalent and/or relevant experience in the relevant field of Local Law.

Demonstrated experience in the assessment and approval of Construction Management Plans and the ability to consider appropriate construction methodology and relevant Local Laws to support the construction of a development/project and potential community/amenity impacts.
