Meet our Workforce Areas - Penrith City Council

The City Strategy Department is a collaborative, multidisciplinary team helping shape the future of one of Western Sydney’s fastest growing cities.

We’re proud of what we deliver. Recent successes include the St Marys Town Centre Master Plan and the Kingswood–Werrington Structure Plan and Place Plan, and we’re now progressing the next generation of master planning across the City.

Our work is broad and varied. We’re also shaping the future of Penrith’s river corridor, developing and continually reviewing our suite of city-wide strategies under the Places of Penrith Strategic Framework – spanning housing, employment lands, rural lands, green grid and other key priorities – and building the evidence and strategic case to advocate for the infrastructure, investment and policy outcomes our City needs.

Importantly, our work doesn’t stop at setting a vision. We think about how strategy translates into planning controls, infrastructure, investment, advocacy and outcomes on the ground.

We work hard, support each other and value flexibility, balance and a positive team culture. If you’re curious, collaborative and enjoy tackling complex challenges and seeing good planning translate into real outcomes, you’ll fit right in.
