The Town of Victoria Park is a leader in the urban greening, delivering extensive community engaged programs under our Urban Forest Strategy.
The Planting Season is an exceptionally busy period for the Urban Forest Team. Between May and July 2026 the team will deliver Urban Forest at Home, engaging with 800+ residents along with our two large community planting events in late June and late July.
The Urban Forest Events Intern will support the Town of Victoria Park’s community planting initiatives, contributing to the delivery of events that align with the Urban Forest Strategy. This internship offers hands-on experience in event planning and delivery, community engagement, and environmental education.
Working closely with the Urban Forest Events and Education Officer, the intern will assist in planning, coordinating, and delivering planting events that foster community participation and promote urban biodiversity. Responsibilities include event logistics, volunteer coordination, community engagement and post-event evaluation. The intern will also help develop educational materials and support outreach efforts to raise awareness about the benefits of urban forests.
This role is ideal for someone passionate about sustainability, community development, and urban ecology, and offers a unique opportunity to gain experience in local government environmental initiatives.
The Town is undertaking a major review of its highest level planning document, the Strategic Community Plan (SCP). VicVision has been designed to take into account that our community has different levels of time and interest.
