CENTRAL LAND COUNCIL
The CLC, a Commonwealth Government corporate entity currently within the portfolio of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, has a proud history of service and support to Aboriginal communities in the southern half of the Northern Territory. With head office located in Alice Springs, the Council area covers almost 777,000 sq.km comprising nine regions, with people from 15 different language groups. Our multi-disciplinary team includes Indigenous people with expert traditional knowledge, rangers, community development professionals, ecologists, lawyers, anthropologists, geologists, accountants, bookkeepers, librarians, and trades people. The diversity of our work is considerable and, as Chief Executive Officer, you will be joining the organisation at a time of great stability. We have 235 FTE staff and an annual operating/capital budget of around $44 million. You will take the organisation to the next level, whilst delivering the great works and services for which the organisation is renowned.
Aboriginal people make up a third of Northern Territory’s population, with more than 24,000 living in Central Australia. Aboriginal people collectively own half of the land in NT — more than 417,000 sq.km in the CLC region alone. The CLC has a 90-member Council and meets in remote locations three times each year to make decisions on behalf of Aboriginal people, supporting them to manage their land, make the most of the opportunities offered, and promoting their rights.
The position will be available due to the pending retirement of the current incumbent. The new Chief Executive Officer will be an energetic and self-motivated leader with tenacity and integrity, inspirational leadership, with a sense of purpose and vision. The position has been identified as requiring a person of Aboriginal descent to take on the role; who will advocate and influence government policy and strategy and drive the implementation of the strategy developed by the Land Council members. Your outstanding negotiation and influencing skills, ability to liaise with a diverse range of stakeholders, political astuteness, and understanding of government will be key to your success. The CEO plays a major role in corporate planning, operations, community engagement, stakeholder relations, government regulations, and representing the public image of the organisation.
A very attractive remuneration package with a three- year employment contract will be negotiated with the right person. This is a very senior position and executive experience will be a key attribute.
