• Develop in conjunction with the Alliance Manager the Parking Business Plan to deliver against the objectives of the Commercial Services Alliance and the City’s Strategic Community Plan;
• Serve as the primary liaison for parking management for events, representing the City to both internal and external stakeholders; and
• Improve the operational systems, processes, and policies in support of improving reporting, information flow, management, business process and organisational planning.
