At Planned Resources, we specialise in public sector recruitment, helping councils and government agencies across Australia attract the right people to deliver critical community projects. Our recent partnership with Greater Sydney Parklands highlights the impact of connecting skilled professionals with organisations that shape the future of our cities.

When Greater Sydney Parklands needed to appoint a new Manager – Planning and Urban Design, we provided a tailored recruitment process that ensured both capability and cultural fit. This role was vital — requiring someone who could balance urban growth, heritage protection, and sustainability while delivering community-focused outcomes.

Reflecting on the process, Paula Tomkins, Greater Sydney Parklands, shared:

“Cindy provided a great level of service throughout the recruitment process. I was particularly appreciative of the rigour of the shortlisting process and the way in which she kept in touch with all candidates throughout. I would use Planned Resources to support recruitment processes in future.”

This testimonial demonstrates what sets Planned Resources apart in the recruitment for the public sector:

• A rigorous shortlisting process built on industry knowledge.

• Ongoing communication to keep candidates engaged and informed.

• A focus on building long-term trust with clients and talent alike.

In today’s competitive market, councils face increasing pressure to deliver services with limited resources. That makes finding the right people more critical than ever. Planned Resources is proud to support organisations like Greater Sydney Parklands by providing recruitment solutions that strengthen capacity and deliver measurable outcomes.

If your council or agency is seeking expertise in public sector recruitment, our team is ready to help.
