Why this role matters
Every road, park, pipeline and piece of infrastructure tells a story—and you will be the one ensuring those stories are captured accurately, consistently and ready to support informed decision-making across Council.
As an Asset Data Officer, you will play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of Council’s asset data by ensuring alignment between GIS, asset management systems and supporting documentation. Working closely with internal teams and developers, you will review as-constructed submissions, digitise spatial data, and ensure all developer-contributed assets are accurately captured and meet Council’s standards.
