Local Land Services is calling on the community to step forward and help make a difference by applying to join the South East board.

Acting Chair of the South East Local Land Services board Allison Harker, said that the organisation needs to be able to draw on the experience and expertise of qualified people who understand the local community and industry.

“We are experiencing challenge and hardship across the region and now, more than ever, we need our board members to work closely with land managers and communities to identify and deliver services relevant to local needs,” Mrs Harker said.

“Within South East Local Land Services we are recruiting for the chair and one board member."

Ms Harker said South East Local Land Services hopes to attract candidates with a commitment to high ethical standards and teamwork and who bring unique experiences and knowledge to the local boards. 

There is also a focus on increasing the number of younger people, Aboriginal people and women on boards across the state.

“We recognise the potential for genuine collaboration with Aboriginal people to share culture, heritage and traditional land management in a modern context.

“Having a mix of people on our boards introduces new experiences and skill sets and new voices.

“These are the people who can provide strategic direction, improve service delivery and work closely with our regional communities,” Mrs Harker said.

Candidates will need to demonstrate a strong understanding of corporate governance, a commitment to high ethical standards and teamwork, and well developed communication, negotiation and advocacy skills.
