What if your next planning role offered more than assessing applications and ticking boxes?

What if you could help shape entire neighbourhoods, influence how communities develop and play a real part in building the future of Perth’s northern suburbs?

At the City of Wanneroo, you can

We’re growing, evolving and reimagining the way we deliver for our community. As one of Perth’s largest and fastest‑growing local governments, we’re at the forefront of exciting urban development, creating new communities, supporting local businesses and helping shape the places where people live, work and connect.

We’re looking for passionate and motivated Planners who want to put their expertise to work on meaningful projects, tackle interesting planning challenges and help deliver excellent outcomes for our community.

If you’re ready to broaden your experience, take ownership of your work and see the difference your professional judgement makes, we’d love to hear from you

Why choose the City of Wanneroo?

We know great planners want more than a job title. They want engaging work, opportunities to grow and a workplace where their contribution matters.

Here’s what makes this opportunity different:

Make your mark on a growing city

Be part of the planning decisions that will shape our communities for years to come. From new development and subdivision proposals to structure plans,



local planning policies and strategic planning initiatives, your work will help influence the future of Wanneroo.

Variety that keeps you engaged

No two planning challenges are exactly alike. Work across a diverse range of development applications, complex subdivision proposals, planning schemes, local development plans and strategic planning projects. There’s plenty of chance to apply your expertise, build your confidence and keep developing professionally.

Use your professional judgement

Bring your planning knowledge, analytical thinking and problem‑solving skills to the table. You’ll have the opportunity to develop recommendations, negotiate practical solutions and work through complex issues with a focus on achieving sound planning outcomes.

Work with people who value collaboration

Partner with experienced planners, internal specialists, government agencies, consultants, developers and community stakeholders. We value open communication, knowledge sharing and working together to find solutions that balance competing needs.

Build your career with purpose

Whether you’re looking to deepen your development assessment experience or broaden your exposure to strategic planning, this role offers opportunities to expand your skills and contribute to a diverse portfolio of planning work in a dynamic local government environment.





Enjoy benefits that support your life outside work

We believe great work should come with great benefits, including attractive leave entitlements, flexible working arrangements where operationally supported, and a workplace that values wellbeing and work‑life balance.

And with the City continuing to evolve through our Reimagine Wanneroo journey, there’s never been a more exciting time to join us.

What will you be doing?

Reporting to the Coordinator Planning Services, you’ll contribute to the delivery of high‑quality planning services while helping guide development and land use across the City.

Your work will include:

- Assessing development applications, complex subdivisions, structure plans and local development plans.
