He angitūtanga: The opportunity
It’s an exciting time for our Service Investment & Programming unit within the new council Policy department. Driving change in how we plan and deliver services for the communities of Tāmaki Makaurau and strengthening our capacity to deliver for Māori.

We have an opportunity for an Intermediate Planner to join the Park’s Planning tīma within the Service Investment and Programming unit. We form an integral part of delivering the Auckland Plan 2050 linking Policy and Community delivery teams.

You’ll also support and lead projects to masterplan our significant parks and community spaces, and to develop our practice and processes so that we can deliver improved community outcomes and advice to elected officials and other departments.

A key focus of the role is to continue to evolve our approach to Auckland’s parks and open space planning to meet the challenges of planning, investing in, and managing the largest local and regional parks network in Australasia.
