This senior leadership role is responsible for overseeing a development portfolio of approximately $200 million annually, delivering strategic urban renewal initiatives, commercial ventures, and city-shaping development projects that contribute to Canberra's growth and prosperity.

You will lead the Urban Development and Commercial Ventures teams, driving the delivery of some of Canberra's most significant development opportunities.

This is a unique opportunity to influence the future shape of Canberra, build strong partnerships across government and industry, and lead multidisciplinary teams committed to delivering exceptional outcomes.

If you are a strategic thinker, accomplished leader, and collaborative relationship builder with a passion for urban development, commercial partnerships, and city-making, we invite you to bring your vision and expertise to SLA.

We welcome applicants with significant leadership experience in urban development, property, infrastructure, commercial ventures, construction, or related industries from both the public and private sectors. Executive-level experience operating in complex commercial environments, leading large multidisciplinary teams, and managing major projects, partnerships or development portfolios will be highly regarded.
