Regulatory Administrator

Our Regulatory Delivery team plays an important role in supporting a safe, well-functioning city. Working across a broad range of regulatory activities, the team helps ensure Council processes are delivered consistently, legislative requirements are met, and customers receive clear and reliable support.

From coordinating information requests and maintaining records to supporting licensing, compliance and customer enquiries, you’ll manage varied work that requires sound judgement, attention to detail and a calm, practical approach.

This is also an opportunity to look beyond the task at hand. You’ll help identify better ways of working, improve systems and documentation, and contribute to a positive customer experience. If you enjoy bringing structure to detailed processes and working collaboratively to deliver a reliable service, this could be a great next step.
