Dianne Jack Editor in Chief The Australian Local Government Job Directory
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER The Central Coast is one of Australia’s ten largest urban areas: a region of more than 350,000 people, 1,680 square kilometers, and 80 kilometres of coastline between Sydney and Newcastle, projected to grow to some 415,000 residents by 2046. Central Coast Council is the organisation that serves it. With an operating budget of $850 million a year, a four year capital works program of more than $1.35 billion, a multibillion dollar asset base and responsibility for the region’s water supply and sewerage services, it is one of the largest and most consequential councils in the country, and the scale of its operations is matched by very few outside the capital cities. Following the retirement of a long serving and highly regarded Chief Executive Officer, the elected Council is seeking a leader of genuine stature for one of the most significant and high-profile local government appointments in Australia. The financial recovery is complete, the organisation is stable and well governed, and the Council is now looking for a Chief Executive Officer who will build on that platform with ambition: lifting performance, sharpening delivery and deepening Council’s connection with the community it serves. THE ROLE Reporting to the governing body of the Council as general manager under the Local Government Act 1993, the Chief Executive Officer holds full accountability for the leadership, performance and culture of the organisation. You will lead an Executive Leadership Team of five Directors spanning Community and Recreation Services, Corporate Services, Environment and Planning, Infrastructure Services, and Water and Sewer, and you will be the principal source of strategic, impartial and evidence-based advice to the Mayor and Councillors. The agenda is substantial. Council expects its next Chief Executive Officer to protect and extend its financial sustainability; to provide confident oversight of a regulated water and sewer utility; to pursue economic development and well planned growth actively; and to lead a culture in which people are empowered, accountable and encouraged to challenge the status quo. ABOUT YOU You are an accomplished chief executive or senior executive with a record of leading large, complex and multidisciplinary organisations, most likely within local government or a comparable public sector or regulated environment. You bring highly developed financial acumen, deep fluency in governance and risk, and demonstrated success in leading cultural change and building high performing executive teams. Tertiary qualifications in a relevant discipline are essential; postgraduate study and experience with water and sewer or another regulated utility are desirable. Just as important is how you lead. The Council is seeking a leader who builds trusted and productive relationships with every Councillor and provides consistent, professional advice that the whole elected body can rely on; who is candid and constructive, and comfortable offering a considered view on difficult questions; who is conciliatory, collaborative and innovative in equal measure; and who is a visible and trusted presence in the community that they serve. Why This Role There are few appointments in Australian local government that combine this scale, this complexity and this visibility. The Central Coast is a region of national significance with a growth trajectory to match, and its Council operates at a scale, and across a breadth of functions, that most councils never approach. For a chief executive who wants to lead an organisation of true consequence, shape the future of a major Australian region and be judged on outcomes that matter to hundreds of thousands of people, this is a defining career appointment. An executive remuneration package commensurate with the scale and significance of the role will be negotiated with the successful candidate under the Office of Local Government Standard Contract of Employment.

$107,706 - $115,039 + super | Nine-day fortnight
Sunshine Coast Council is seeking an experienced people and operational leader to lead its Parking Services team at an important point in the service’s evolution. This is broader than a traditional parking enforcement role. Council is bringing together regulated and paid parking services, creating an opportunity to improve how the service operates, uses technology and data, manages suppliers and responds to the needs of a rapidly growing region. Leading a team of 12 Parking Officers, you will coordinate day-to-day parking operations across the Sunshine Coast, establish clear priorities and rosters, develop team capability and ensure regulation is applied fairly, consistently and with sound judgement. You will also oversee operational contracts and service providers, contribute to procurement and system improvements, monitor financial and operational performance, and use data to improve deployment, customer outcomes and service efficiency. Council’s approach to parking regulation is practical and community focused. The objective is not simply enforcement, but encouraging safe and appropriate parking behaviours, supporting access and turnover, and helping the community understand why regulation is necessary. About You You may come from local government, regulatory services or another operational environment involving people leadership, customer service, contracts, technology and compliance. You will be a capable team leader with strong business judgement, curiosity and the confidence to improve how things are done. You will be comfortable managing competing operational priorities, dealing with escalated customer matters and working across a broad stakeholder environment. Direct parking management experience will be valuable, but it is not essential. Strong leadership, operational management and the ability to bring people with you through change are more important.
