We’re looking for a Community Development Officer to join our Shire of Ashburton team here in Tom Price. This role works closely with our community, helping shape local events and supporting community‑led initiatives across the region.

In this hands‑on, varied role, you’ll take the lead on creating and delivering engaging, creative events that genuinely respond to what our community needs and cares about. You’ll also play a key part in supporting community groups and helping build local capacity.

If you love the Tom Price lifestyle, the scenery, the people, the sense of community, this role is a perfect match.

This position offers a competitive remuneration package and six weeks’ annual leave. All terms and conditions are as per the Shire of Ashburton Enterprise Agreement 2022.
