Our values

Innovation

No idea is too small or too big and every voice is welcome. We collaborate with industry, community and cultural partners to manifest the future of environmental and sustainable urban design.

Customer focus

We increase value to our customers by targeting their specific needs. In - depth community consultations and straight forward land sale processes help us deliver to the wider community.

Government partnership

We engage with government partners to support whole government strategies. No decision is made in a vacuum, as we act in support of a wider goal towards building thriving communities.

“I felt truly at ease in my interviews with Suburban Land Agency. It was just like a conversation over a cuppa!”

Grow your career with us

A career with the ACT Public Service is unlike any other, thanks to the ACT being a one - tier city - state where the government is responsible for both state and local government functions. This gives our employees more freedom to explore opportunities and develop their skills across different areas of policy and administration.

The team at the Suburban Land Agency benefits directly from the ACT’s unique government structure . The Territory’s infrastructure planning, land use planners, land supply entities and environment and sustainability teams all work as one to maximise the potential of all employees. Regardless of what team you’re in at the Agency, you’ll have ongoing exposure to different disciplines and ideas every day.

Find job opportunities

We acknowledge the Ngunnawal people as traditional custodians of the ACT and recognise any other people or families with connection to the lands of the ACT and region. We acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region.
