About the Role
The City of Ballarat is offering a fantastic opportunity to join the team responsible for maintaining two of the region’s most iconic and well-loved recreational precincts—Lake Wendouree and Victoria Park. These spaces are central to community life, offering both passive and active recreation for residents and visitors alike.
As a Groundsperson, you’ll contribute to the upkeep and enhancement of these precincts through a variety of horticultural and maintenance tasks, including mowing, brush cutting, weed control, garden bed care, and tree planting.

With practical experience in horticulture, parks, and/or waterway maintenance, you’re confident in operating mechanical plant and hand tools safely and effectively. You also bring a strong understanding of health and safety practices relevant to outdoor work environments.
Your qualifications include a Certificate III in Horticulture or Parks and Gardens (or equivalent), along with a Victorian Driver’s Licence, Boat Operators Licence, and a Certificate in Farm Chemical Handling. You’re capable of working independently when required, and your literacy and numeracy skills support accurate record-keeping and task execution.
Additional desirable qualifications such as a Marine Exemption 38 (Coxswain Grade 2) and Chainsaw Operation Level 1 Certificate will further strengthen your application.
