As November unfolds, the anticipation of Christmas begins to fill the air, some would say despite Mariah Carey announcing “It’s time! “
It brings a sense of joy and excitement. The first Christmas trees start appearing in Council parks and gardens around the nation. Main streets are scheduled for their annual decorating works with festive banners, vibrant ornamentation and sparkling Christmas lights.
Whilst it is too early for the advent calendar, it is not too early to plan for the holiday period advertising. It is a common misnomer that December is a “slow” time for recruitment. Our data analytics speak volumes about that misconception. It shows readership of career opportunities hits a great high point during the festive season.
So, if you have a role coming up, take the time to set your close date to capture this annual boon of readership by advertising before Christmas.
At The Australian Local Government Job Directory, we have six editions of the “little green book” remaining for 2025. There is a bonus too with the final edition of the year, as it is live until the first issue of 2026.
After you have placed your latest ads, dust off your decorations, as it is nearly time to pop up the tree at home.
Happy Christmas Countdown.

We are seeking a seasoned, resilient leader to guide the Norfolk Island Regional Council through a pivotal and complex transition. This is a unique opportunity to lead, mentor, and support the establishment of a newly elected Assembly, all while immersed in the stunning natural beauty and tight-knit community of Norfolk Island.
As General Manager, you will play a central role in leading the Council’s transition from administration to a newly elected Assembly. This is a hands-on role where you will coach and support elected members, foster good governance, and instill a culture of pride, accountability, and collaboration. You will apply strong financial and commercial acumen to manage ongoing fiscal complexities, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Council. In addition, you will embrace the breadth of services we provide — from traditional local government responsibilities to the delivery of commercial utilities such as telecommunications, electricity and airport services — while working closely with a diverse and engaged community.
The ideal candidate will be a highly experienced and respected professional. While a background in local government is highly valued, we welcome applications from senior executives in comparable sectors. Your success will depend on your ability to ensure services and portfolios operate at a high standard, while leading staff through the challenges of cultural and business process change. You will be skilled at managing complexity, building trust, and interpreting legal, financial, and governance matters with clarity and confidence.
