The South Australian Government is reforming how our landscapes are managed by putting community at the heart of sustainably managing the state’s soil, water, pest plants and animals, and biodiversity.  Central to the Landscape South Australia Act (2019) are eight new Regional Landscape Boards: Alinytjara Wilurara, Eyre Peninsula, Hills and Fleurieu, Kangaroo Island, Limestone Coast, Murraylands & Riverland, Northern & Yorke and South Australian Arid Lands.  These Boards are South Australian Government statutory bodies, which will have greater autonomy and flexibility to respond to local issues and facilitate the sustainable management of landscapes in the regions outside of Adelaide in partnership with land owners, stakeholders and the community.  This framework allows greater autonomy and flexibility to respond to local issues.

The Alinytjara Wilurara (AW) region covers 26% of South Australia in the remote north-west of the state.  The land and its 340km of coastline are mostly dedicated to conservation and traditional Aboriginal use and occupation.  The region is diverse in flora, fauna and cultural heritage, popular tourist destinations and contains some of the hottest and most remote areas in the state.

The AW region is inhabited by approximately 4,000 people and is the traditional lands of the Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara Ngaanyatjarra, Mirning, Wirangu, Kokatha, Yalata, Maralinga Tjarutja (Oak Valley) and Roberts First Nations Peoples.  There is no privately owned land in the region with more than half of AW held as dedicated Aboriginal lands owned or in the trust of three key land holding authorities.  Key industries in the region include art, tourism, mining, land management, government services and pastoralism.

Based in the Adelaide CBD, the General Manager will report to the Landscape Board and will play a key leadership role in supporting the Landscape SA reform and continuous improvement in the management of the Alinytjara Wilurara’s natural resources.  The General Manager will work to deliver the Board’s five-year regional plan, annual business plan, manage budgets and employ and manage staff to deliver practical, on-ground, back-to-basics programs, and ensure the administration of the Landscape South Australia Act (2019).

Applications are encouraged from suitably experienced professionals displaying outstanding skills in leadership, relationship building, people and change management, stakeholder management, partnering, co-designing projects with stakeholders, strategic thinking, operational delivery, cultural competency and the ability to form strong relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and organisations.  An ability to work with all levels of Government and the NGO sector is critical.  Qualifications in a relevant discipline will be highly regarded.

The South Australian Government is reforming how our landscapes are managed by putting community at the heart of sustainably managing the state’s soil, water, pest plants and animals, and biodiversity.  Central to the Landscape South Australia Act (2019) are eight new Regional Landscape Boards: Alinytjara Wilurara, Eyre Peninsula, Hills and Fleurieu, Kangaroo Island, Limestone Coast, Murraylands & Riverland, Northern & Yorke and South Australian Arid Lands.  These Boards are South Australian Government statutory bodies, which will have greater autonomy and flexibility to respond to local issues and facilitate the sustainable management of landscapes in the regions outside of Adelaide in partnership with land owners, stakeholders and the community.  This framework allows greater autonomy and flexibility to respond to local issues.

The Murraylands & Riverland region covers approximately 53,780 square kilometres from the Victorian and New South Wales borders to the western Mallee at the foot of the Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges.  The region forms the south-western portion of the Murray-Darling catchment into which the River Murray flows.  The River Murray supplies the majority of the water needs for the city of Adelaide and surrounding towns.  Much of the land is used for primary production, including pastoral lands, dryland cropping, grazing, horticulture, irrigation and dairy farming.  There are also ecosystems that are of state, national and international significance, including the Ramsar-listed Chowilla Floodplain, the Coorong and Lower Lakes.  The natural resources of the region also support tourism, recreation and manufacturing.

The Traditional Owner groups include Ngarrindjeri, the First Peoples of the River Murray and Mallee Region, Peramangk, Ngadjuri, and Wilyakali.

Based in Murray Bridge, the General Manager will report to the Landscape Board and will play a key leadership role in supporting the Landscape SA reform and continuous improvement in the management of the Murraylands & Riverland’s natural resources.  The General Manager will work to deliver the Board’s five-year regional plan, annual business plan, manage budgets and employ and manage staff to deliver practical, on-ground, back-to-basics programs, and ensure the administration of the Landscape South Australia Act (2019).

The Northern and Yorke region extends across 38,500 square kilometres including 1,350 kilometres of coastline and encompasses the Yorke Peninsula, Spencer Gulf, Gulf St Vincent, the southern Flinders Ranges, parts of the Rangelands, the Mid North, the northern Mount Lofty Ranges, the Barossa and the northern Adelaide Plains.  

The region supports a population of approximately 150,000 people who reside in agricultural, coastal and urban communities including Port Pirie, Gawler, Nuriootpa, Clare, Burra, Peterborough, Kadina, Moonta and Wallaroo.  The region’s rich natural resources underpin a range of industries including agricultural cropping and grazing production, viticulture and supports significant mining and mineral processing activities, fishing, aquaculture, forestry, horticulture and tourism.  The region includes the traditional lands of the Narungga, Peramangk, Ngadjuri, Nukunu and Kaurna First Nations Peoples.

The South Australian Arid Lands region spans more than half of South Australia, taking up the state’s north-east corner to its borders with NSW, QLD and the NT.  The region includes some of the most arid parts of the state and has the largest percentage of intact ecosystems and natural biodiversity in the state.

Less than 2% of the state’s population live in the region dispersed across Port Augusta, Coober Pedy and Roxby Downs.  These communities support and service isolated landholdings throughout the region, with ground water supporting the mining, gas and petroleum industries, sheep and cattle and tourism.  The region is one of the most visited in the state and welcomes many people each year to destinations that include the Flinders Ranges, Lake Eyre, Coober Pedy and the Strzelecki, Oodnadatta and Birdsville Tracks.

The diverse Aboriginal land holdings include pastoral leases, community managed land, indigenous protected areas and co-managed parks.  This culturally rich area includes the Native Title holdings of a number of Traditional Owner groups.

Based in Port Augusta, the General Manager will report to the Landscape Board and will play a key leadership role in supporting the Landscape SA reform and continuous improvement in the management of the South Australian Arid Land’s natural resources.  The General Manager will work to deliver the Board’s five-year regional plan, annual business plan, manage budgets and employ and manage staff to deliver practical, on-ground, back-to-basics programs, and ensure the administration of the Landscape South Australia Act (2019).

For over 30 years, Lighthouse Disability Ltd (formerly named Leveda) has been a leading provider of disability support in South Australia.  Lighthouse is a values based organisation with a long and successful history of service to adults with complex and diverse disabilities.  With just over 200 staff, revenue approaching $35m and a very strong balance sheet, the organisation is poised for future growth and success.  Having almost doubled turnover in the last two years, Lighthouse believes further opportunities exist to expand due to the introduction of the NDIS including possible divestment of disability accommodation services by the State Government.

Reporting directly to a strategically minded, skills-based and connected Board, the Chief Executive will execute the Lighthouse vision, lead and motivate the highly dedicated staff, ensure effective management and governance across all areas of the operation, seek out opportunities for growth and ensure strong and productive relationships with stakeholders are maintained.

Applications are encouraged from appropriately qualified and experienced senior executives with the commercial and political acumen to lead and grow the organisation in an environment of constant change and challenge.  A genuine affinity with key stakeholders is essential as are contemporary leadership skills, sound financial acumen and highly developed communication abilities combined with warmth, empathy, authenticity and good character.  Knowledge of the NDIS environment will be highly regarded but is not essential.  Most important is experience leading and growing a comparably complex service delivery business. 

Make an enquiry to explore this career defining and fulfilling role guiding a buoyant entity making a genuine difference to the lives of people with a disability.
