About Darrin Ray

I get out of bed in the morning because I’m passionate about making a difference. As a Mindset and Leadership Coach and an ESG Executive in the private sector, my work with people focuses on improving places and our planet. I love giving people the tools and inspiration they need to achieve their goals and to face and defeat the blocks that hold them back. I've had the privilege to follow my passions in a wide range of government, community and private sector settings and roles. These include being an Elected Representative; Coach and Mentor; Governance Advisor; CEO; Board Member; Political Adviser and Community Activist. My drive to make a difference has seen me pursue many community leadership roles. I’ve founded Pride Marches in Perth and Melbourne; was a Mayor and Councillor at the City of Port Phillip; a Founding Board Member of Australia’s first national homelessness organisation; a long-serving Board Member of the Port Phillip Housing Association and I'm currently the Secretary of the bHive Bendigo Co-operative.I was able to find my own voice and drive with the help of strong women in my family, teachers at school and some key mentors in my earlier life. This is why I’m so thrilled to be able to continue to help others find their own voice. To achieve their own goals regardless of their challenges and experiences.

  • Wyndham City Council
    Council And Government Relationships Lead
    Wyndham City Council Jun 2014 - Dec 2019
    Werribee
    I worked with the Executive Leadership Team to strategically repositioning Wyndham's advocacy and government relations work. Given the competitive nature of a crowded local government sector seeking attention and funding from other levels of government, I contributed to this strategic repositioning by contributing to specific advocacy campaigns and government relations work. I also worked closely with the Executive Leadership Team including the Head Strategy, Policy & Impact to ensure processes better aligned evidence, marketing, government relations and stakeholder management.

  • Change 2 Solutions Pty Ltd
    Managing Director
    Change 2 Solutions Pty Ltd Apr 2012 - Mar 2013
    Change 2 Solutions Pty Ltd currently specialises in rescuing current land use and development applications at various stages in the planning process.We help remove confusion about costs and stakeholder expectations, thereby providing a clearer path forward for our clients. In starting Change 2 Solutions Pty Ltd, we identified a niche in the market. While there are plenty of technical experts currently involved in a myriad of ways in our planning systems, very few have the right mix of skills and drive to independently manage the whole process on behalf of clients. We pride ourselves on providing our services from the beginning to the end of the process – from when clients either hold or are considering purchasing a site, to the construction and sales stages.In meeting this market niche, Change 2 Solutions Pty Ltd is motivated to turn around situations where clients, communities and governments all feel bruised and disappointed by our planning system.Rather than getting stuck on the wrong path too early, without adequate stakeholder support, or clarity about where they are within the complex planning process, we pride ourselves on advising our clients of the ‘pros and cons’ of proceeding along number of paths. Most of our existing clients tell us that if they had previously had the benefit of early and strategic discussions, they would have saved a lot of heartache, not to mention significant costs already paid for expert technical reports that may longer be relevant or have the support of key decision-makers.Unlike some planning and development companies and advisers, we break our projects up into clear stages with mutually agreed milestones, giving our clients ongoing power to not only control the outcomes, but also to understand the stakeholder and cost implications.
