HERITAGE OFFICER - Ref 008HO
Salary range: $70,000 (ex. Super)
Location: Geraldton
YSRC pool vehicle provided (as required)
The Heritage Office role within YSRC is hands-on with responsibility for assisting with the day-to-day operations of the heritage services portfolio. The Heritage Officer will provide support to the Bundi Aboriginal Yamatji Corporation and broader Yamatji Nation members in relation to cultural heritage matters.
This is a unique role with the opportunity to develop cultural heritage opportunities and to promote, protect and preserve heritage values across the Yamatji Nation. YSRC is already engaging with proponents in relation to development enquiries. It is also engaging with State Government Agencies and other stakeholders about the future management of information and materials related to the Yamatji Nation. This role will play an important part in these engagements.
This position also creates a valuable opportunity to establish policies and processes for cultural heritage management during an important stage of the ILUA implementation.
Whilst is will be an advantage if you have a background in Aboriginal heritage legislation/management, it is not essential. For the right person, this Geraldton based role is a development opportunity.
