It is an exciting time for tourism in the Light Regional Council, who seeks a high-calibre candidate to play a central role in realising the full potential of the region being recognised as the home of quintessential Australian rural landscapes, outstanding South Australian wines, living heritage and unique agricultural experiences.
Light Regional Council is home to a diverse range of tourism experiences, including:
- Seppeltsfield, Greenock, Marananga and Gomersal – home to many award-winning cellar doors, boutique accommodation and globally recognised wine brands.
- Kapunda has a rich copper mining heritage visible at the historic mine site, along with many heritage buildings, trails and the town’s museum. It is also home to the Kidman and Dutton pastoral legacies, where the story of both families is still activated throughout key sites in Kapunda and at nearby Anlaby Station.
- Freeling was the birthplace to some of South Australia’s most significant agriculture heritage and was home to the McLeod’s Daughters TV series, which still attracts visitors from around the globe.
- Roseworthy College is a leader in agriculture, equine and viticulture education and research, while the nearby township is a popular amenity stop for visitors heading north to the Clare Valley or Flinders Ranges.
An outstanding opportunity has arisen for a qualified and people-oriented candidate to connect community, local businesses, the tourism industry, state and local government to help grow the local visitor economy through collaborative efforts by implementing the Council’s new Tourism Plan. The successful applicant will also be responsible for overseeing the operation of the Visitor Information Centre in Kapunda and independently managing projects and events with a specific tourism focus.
You will demonstrate strong interpersonal communication skills and have key knowledge of marketing, branding, visitor servicing and the South Australian visitor economy. If you are attracted to a challenging, rewarding and progressive role within a fantastic organisation and hold the appropriate experience and qualifications, we encourage you to apply.
An attractive remuneration package will be offered to the successful candidate depending on experience and qualifications.
