Are you a big-picture planner who also sweats the details?

Want your work to directly support public housing outcomes across NSW?

Ready to bring your strategy, smarts, and spatial skills to a team shaping real change?

One day you’ll be deep in GIS analysis, the next advising stakeholders on compliance and unlocking planning pathways for high-impact social housing projects.

About the Role:

As a Senior Planner with Homes NSW, you won’t just be ticking boxes. You’ll be a trusted advisor, collaborator, and problem-solver, helping shape sustainable communities by delivering sound planning advice and approvals.

You’ll dive into everything from legislative reviews and planning proposals to spatial strategy and consultant coordination. You’ll also be a key player in precinct planning, ensuring land use, transport, and infrastructure align to create housing that works for people.

This is a role where your work really matters.

You’ll be doing things like:

Advising on planning legislation, risks, and policy impacts
Reviewing planning proposals and coordinating consultant inputs
Using GIS to support analysis, mapping, and decision-making
Supporting strategic growth through integrated precinct planning
Keeping housing projects on track, on time, and in line with NSW planning frameworks
Building strong working relationships across internal teams and external agencies

About You:

You’re a qualified planner who’s as comfortable interpreting legislation as you are presenting solutions to a room of stakeholders. You bring a solid mix of technical skill and strategic thinking, and you enjoy balancing it all in a collaborative team environment.

What you'll bring:

A degree in urban or regional planning (or equivalent experience)
Eligibility for membership with a planning association
Strong understanding of NSW planning frameworks and legislation
Confident use of GIS and spatial data for planning insights
Experience managing planning consultants or working across approvals processes
