Creative Projects Officer

The role
In this role, you will be the driving force behind a wide array of cultural and creative programs—some delivered by Council, others in collaboration with the rich network of artists, organisations and communities that call North Sydney home. You will help bring ideas to life in our streets, libraries, galleries, parks and public spaces, ensuring that culture is woven into the everyday experiences of our residents and visitors.

You will work closely with the Service Unit Manager to develop and deliver meaningful creative projects that reflect the diversity and identity of our local government area. Whether curating public programs, shaping our biennial North Sydney Art Prize, or helping to tell local stories through art and experience, your work will build connections, foster participation, and enrich the cultural landscape of the area.

Your creativity will be matched by your capacity to coordinate projects, navigate Council processes, and contribute to long-term planning. You will be part of a dynamic creative projects team that’s committed to innovation, inclusion, and cultural leadership. From activating public spaces with bold artistic interventions to collaborating with schools, arts collectives and community groups, you will be a key figure in shaping the cultural heartbeat of North Sydney.

The person
We are looking for someone with a deep appreciation of the arts, and a commitment to inclusive, intersectional, and culturally diverse practices. You may come from a background in cultural development, arts administration, community engagement or creative production—but above all, you’ll bring a curious mind and the ability to make things happen.
