About You
You will have outstanding contemporary leadership skills and behaviours, with the proven capacity to work collaboratively with the Leadership Team, to positively engage across the Divisions and with key stakeholders to develop innovative strategies, policies, plans and projects to achieve Council’s priorities and aspirations (both regional and organisational).

You will have experience in strong financial and budget management, balancing and negotiating available resources to deliver excellence in customer experience and managing the performance of community assets and lifestyle with statutory and legal obligations and demonstrated strategic and policy acuity, with the ability to influence and shape attitudes and behaviours and engage Council, all employees, management and other stakeholders in a team approach to achieving success.
