As the economic and industrial hub of North Queensland, Townsville is a dynamic and diverse city with a population exceeding 200,000 and spanning nearly 4,000 square kilometres. With a strong economic foundation in mining, education, construction, and defence, Townsville is fast emerging as a leader in renewable energy and cutting-edge technologies. The region offers a rare blend of vibrant urban living and access to breathtaking natural environments, including the Great Barrier Reef, tropical rainforests, and pristine island destinations—creating the ideal work/life balance in a city where you are 20 minutes from anywhere and offering free parking at the Depot worksite for this role.

Townsville City Council is the largest local government authority in Northern Australia, committed to creating value by growing Townsville through service excellence, driving economic diversity and generating an enriching lifestyle. Employing 1700 staff the organisation provides and maintains over $7 billion worth of community assets.

Reporting to the General Manager - Environmental Health and Regulation, you will play a pivotal leadership role in shaping and delivering the Council's environmental health strategy. You will champion a customer-centric approach, fostering strong community relationships while leading a team that spans both strategic initiatives and day-to-day regulatory functions.

This influential role covers a wide remit, including disaster management, public health, environmental protection, food safety, pandemics, and the management of mosquitoes. You will be instrumental in ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal legislation, while actively contributing to the Council's ongoing transformation through major initiatives such as Project Connect.

You are an inspiring and strategic leader with relevant tertiary qualifications in Environmental Health or a related field (postgraduate qualifications highly desirable). You offer a proven track record of success in senior leadership roles and a deep knowledge of Environmental Health legislation and regulatory frameworks. Familiarity with the Queensland Disaster Management Arrangements (QDMA) and local disaster group responsibilities is an advantage.

Your ability to balance strategic direction with operational execution, while developing and shaping new high-performing teams, and build collaborative relationships across a broad range of stakeholders will be essential to your success.

This is one of Queensland's most exciting and impactful Environmental Health leadership roles. You'll be part of a progressive organisation committed to innovation, community wellbeing, and sustainable development—while enjoying the exceptional lifestyle that only North Queensland can offer.
