About the role

Wyndham is one of Australia's fastest-growing municipalities, with significant growth creating exciting opportunities and challenges in planning and delivering the infrastructure our communities need.

As the Coordinator Development Contributions, you will lead Council's strategic development and infrastructure contributions planning, ensuring that essential community and transport infrastructure is planned, funded and delivered to support Wyndham's growing communities.

You will provide strategic leadership and specialist expertise across Development Contribution Plans (DCPs), Infrastructure Contribution Plans (ICPs) and associated planning frameworks. This includes overseeing the preparation, implementation and review of plans, providing expert advice on complex development proposals and ensuring contributions are effectively managed in accordance with legislative requirements.

A key part of the role will involve working closely with developers, State Government agencies and internal stakeholders to negotiate infrastructure delivery arrangements, including works in kind, infrastructure staging and opportunities to bring forward projects. You will also oversee financial forecasting, developer reimbursements and cash flow modelling, providing strategic advice and reporting to Council's Executive.

You will lead and develop a specialist team, manage consultant engagements and represent Council in stakeholder forums,



negotiations and strategic planning discussions. This is an opportunity to influence how Wyndham grows, ensuring infrastructure investment keeps pace with development and delivers lasting benefits for the community.

What you will bring

- Extensive experience in strategic land use planning and/or development contributions planning,



particularly within growth-area environments.
- Strong knowledge of the Planning and Setting Act, Development Contribution Plans, Infrastructure Contribution Plans and Precinct Structure Plans.
- Proven ability to negotiate with developers, government agencies and stakeholders, and provide high-quality strategic advice, reports and technical documentation.
