- Sound knowledge of Victorian town planning requirements, Res Code and building regulations.
- Hands-on experience obtaining planning approvals and building permits.
- The ability to coordinate multiple projects, consultants and approval processes.
- Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving.

Your ability to navigate planning complexities, manage permits and get residential projects ready for construction is what matters most.
