Oversee all relevant capital projects as they pass through a multi-stage RIBA approval process from initiation through to building and handover. The Director of Campus Development works within a defined capital supply envelope, as approved by Council, and produces several scenarios, based upon an overall view of the total programme. These scenarios are based upon a priority context assembled in most cases first-hand by the Campus Development Director in contact with Deans and Divisional Heads.

The Director will need to take a holistic approach to understanding the complexities of a brief, solving problems and responding to opportunities, ensuring the solutions presented are balanced, people-friendly and sustainable. The Director will need to see stakeholder and community engagement as central to any project, to gain consensus or preferably active support for proposals. The scope of the residential master plan can range from 10-year implementation to a small-scale group of buildings. Liaison with the Director of Campus Operations to ensure a joined-up approach to Capital Development, Planning and Project Delivery is key and that Operations and Commercial input is considered as part of the feasibility process within each project. In order to demonstrate the opportunities for maximising the benefits of combining values for money coupled with design vision, a typical master planning process will be undertaken that will include the preparation stages of the process, where the brief for the master plan is developed and the baseline analysis is conducted. The Director will also need to consider funding and make recommendations to the CPO regarding funding options. Strategic Project Delivery Master Planning
