Hamilton, Australia Central Highlands Council Full time

**_Work where the landscape is wide, and the work has meaning_**

Central Highlands Council governs one of Tasmania’s most distinctive regions - a place shaped by alpine lakes, open farmland, and strong community ties. The Council area spans more than 8,000 square kilometres and includes the townships of Bothwell, Hamilton, Ouse and Miena. The region is known for its role in hydro-electricity generation, agriculture, and as a destination for bushwalking, trout fishing and wilderness tourism. Its community is practical, independent, and deeply connected to place.

This role offers the chance to lead a capable organisation with sound finances, clear goals and a commitment to delivering value to its communities. As General Manager, you will report to the Mayor and Councillors and provide strategic and operational leadership across all areas of the Council’s business. This includes leading the workforce, delivering services, advising on policy and planning matters, and ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of the organisation.

We’re looking for a senior leader with strong experience in local government, preferably in a regional or rural context. You’ll bring a constructive and reliable approach, with proven skills in people leadership, governance, finance, and community engagement. You will work respectfully with elected members, staff, the community, investors and government, with sound judgement in navigating competing priorities. Professionally, this is an outstanding opportunity to grow your reputation in a high-impact leadership role where your contribution will be visible and valued. Personally, it’s an opportunity to enjoy a lifestyle surrounded by nature, with strong schools, a welcoming community, and easy access to Hobart.
