Okay, let’s tackle this. So Paul Shuttleworth has 44 years of experience in property and government, which is a long time. Typically, experienced professionals in this field can charge higher rates. However, considering his role as a property officer in a local government, his salary might be lower than that of private sector professionals. I’ll look at average salaries for property officers in the public sector. According to data, average salaries for property officers in Australia range from $60,000 to $120,000 per year. Since Paul has 44 years of experience, I’ll estimate his hourly rate based on this experience. Assuming a 40-hour workweek and 52 weeks per year, his annual salary would be around $120,000. Dividing this by 2,080 hours (40 hours/week * 52 weeks/year), I get an estimated hourly rate of $57.69. However, considering the skills listed, such as stakeholder engagement and contract management, which are in demand, I’ll round up to $75 per hour.
