Acting as a central coordination point for agency advice, the Authority will streamline referral processes, resolve issues earlier and deliver clearer, more consistent input to consent authorities—supporting faster, better-informed planning outcomes across NSW. Joining the DCA presents a unique opportunity to help shape and embed a new operating model for planning coordination, contributing directly to system reform and the delivery of housing, infrastructure and sustainable communities across the State.

Balancing urgent requests with ongoing work, you’ll manage risks, communicate openly with stakeholders, and keep projects moving while maintaining accuracy, quality and confidentiality. It’s a role for someone who enjoys problem‑solving,



adapting to change, and working close to the centre of decision-making.
