About the Role
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced property professional to join Yarra City Council’s Property Services Branch. You will play a key role in managing Council’s diverse land and property portfolio — balancing operational management with statutory and strategic projects.
Day-to-day, you’ll deliver property management services (leases, licences, tenancy matters) while also leading projects such as road discontinuances, encroachments, acquisitions, disposals, and other statutory processes. You’ll be working at the intersection of legal, financial and community considerations, applying Yarra’s Property Strategy 2025–2030 to achieve transparent, fair, and sustainable outcomes.
You’ll join a team that values collaboration, evidence-based decision-making and innovation. It’s a great opportunity to take ownership of interesting, challenging projects that directly shape how property is used for community benefit.
What We’re Looking For
We’re seeking a candidate with strong property management and statutory land project experience. You will be confident negotiating leases/licences, resolving tenancy issues, and delivering acquisitions and disposals. A sound knowledge of property law and local government property practice is essential.
Success in this role will come from your ability to work independently and at pace, prioritising competing tasks while maintaining excellent stakeholder relationships across government, community, tenants, landlords, and professional service providers.
