ABOUT US

City of Ryde, just 12 kilometres from Sydney CBD, is a place of unique lifestyle and opportunity. It is home to an engaged and culturally diverse community of around 130,000 people, and a strong and growing Smart City economy including more than 13,000 local businesses, Macquarie Park, world-class hospitals, and a leading university. All balanced with beautiful bushland, riverfront parks, open spaces, and sport facilities.
Our City is undergoing significant population growth as we address the housing crisis in a collaborative manner with the NSW State Government. Council anticipates our population to double over the next 30 years. To address this rapid population growth, Council has developed a strategy to “strike the right balance”, ensuring that employment opportunities and provision of critical infrastructure occurs with significant housing uplift.
Our council will continue to deliver a broad range of services, projects, programs, and events. We are actively committed to innovation, sustainability, resilience and providing exceptional customer experiences, and this relies on attracting and keeping great people. We offer a range of benefits, including flexible work arrangements, health and wellbeing programs, a learning and development program including study support, and a reward and recognition program.

We are looking for a strategic and forward-thinking leader to help shape the future of Ryde and its community. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring compliance and regulatory best practice is adapted to the evolving needs of the public.
Lead, develop and inspire a team of 5 senior leaders working on a range of complex matters within the Development and Regulation portfolio. Your ability to drive and contribute to strategic direction will be key whilst enhancing services across Council. You will have the opportunity to bring your team towards the future vision of the group and use your initiative to motivate high engagement and performance.
Our opportunity will see you working across all aspects of compliance and regulatory requirements whilst using your initiative to uplift the way we work – enriching the experience of the community.
