Lismore NSW, Australia Local Government NSW Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

Lismore City Council is looking for an experienced, community focused leader to step into a high-impact General Manager role in a region undergoing transformation. Lismore is rich in opportunity, complexity, and potential — and we need someone ready to lead meaningful change and shape a strong, sustainable future.

As General Manager, you'll lead the strategic direction, planning, and delivery of Council services and infrastructure, working closely with an engaged elected Council and a committed workforce. You'll be responsible for driving financial sustainability, overseeing budgets, assets, and workforce reform, and fostering a high-performance, transparent culture built on accountability and community connection.

This is a role for a results-driven leader who can turn community priorities into outcomes. You'll champion innovation and continuous improvement, strengthen relationships with stakeholders and the broader community, and advocate for Lismore as a key regional hub — home to a university, airport, hospital, and growing jobs and housing sectors.

We're seeking a visionary and people-focused executive with demonstrated leadership in complex service environments. You'll have deep knowledge of NSW local government frameworks, including financial, governance, and legislative responsibilities. A strong track record in driving reform, leading change, and engaging diverse stakeholders is essential — as is your ability to lead with integrity, presence, and purpose.

This is more than a leadership position — it's a rare opportunity to make a genuine impact. Lismore combines lifestyle and purpose with regional character, significant infrastructure, and real investment. If you're ready to help lead its next chapter, we're ready for you.

Applications should be made online through our website and all applicants must address the selection criteria to be considered for the role. To obtain further information download the Information Pack, Position Description and Selection Criteria from our website at

For a confidential discussion about the role please contact Claudia Nossa Cortes, Local Government Management Solutions Senior Consultant on ***.

Applications close 5pm, Monday 16 June 2025.
