Councils are builders, developers, managers and owners of a wide range of buildings and land within the public and private environment.
The demands of the public are such that staff in this area of work are expected to be sensitive to aesthetic needs and responsive to all members of the community.
This requires great discipline, organisational skills and the ability to work closely with a wide variety of professionals in the building and land development world. An increasing amount of the work is contracted out allowing council staff to control the management and direction of the services.
