Details: Shape Canberra’s future while safeguarding its environmental legacy.

The Suburban Land Agency (SLA) is seeking an experienced and strategic environmental leader to join our Land Supply team as Strategic Environmental Manager. This is a rare opportunity to influence how environmental stewardship, biodiversity outcomes and sustainability principles are embedded across the ACT Government’s land development pipeline.

As the ACT Government’s land developer, SLA plays a central role in delivering people-focused neighbourhoods and urban renewal projects that balance social, economic and environmental outcomes. In this senior role, you will provide authoritative environmental advice across feasibility, business case development and project delivery, ensuring compliance with key legislative frameworks and guiding defensible, high-quality decision-making.

You will lead the development of coordinated biodiversity offset and environmental risk strategies aligned to the Territory’s land release program, oversee complex environmental and heritage investigations, and represent SLA in cross-government forums to influence policy implementation. The role requires sound judgement, strategic thinking and the ability to navigate complex regulatory environments while supporting delivery objectives.

We are looking for a seasoned environmental professional with demonstrated expertise in environmental legislation and regulatory frameworks relevant to land development, strong experience in environmental risk management and biodiversity strategy, and the capability to provide trusted advice at senior levels of government.

If you are motivated by shaping sustainable growth and influencing environmental outcomes at a Territory scale, we encourage you to apply.

Note: This is a temporary position available from 17 July 2026 to 15 March 2027.

Selection may be based on application and referee reports only.

How to apply: Please submit

a supporting statement, addressing the Professional/Technical Skills and the Behavioural Capabilities of not more than two A4 pages outlining your skills and experience relevant to the role;
a copy of a current curriculum vitae and the contact details of at least two referees.

Applications should be submitted .

Note: Under the ACTPS employment framework you may be placed in another role where required for the efficient administration of the service.

Where an offer of employment is for a fixed-term period, any related temporary contracts within the Territory will be issued in compliance with the requirements and applicable exceptions outlined in the Fair Work Act.
