Provision of Management Services for Edel Land

The Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) manages biodiversity, environmental protection and visitor services for the area commonly referred to as Edel Land that includes Steep Point (formally northern end of Carrarang Station). DEC has a requirement for the services of an experienced contractor to live on-site at the Ranger’s Complex to provide on-ground management of the visiting public, provide visitors with information, maintain and upgrade associated service infrastructure including the residence and all out buildings and undertake other land management activities as required.
Edel Land is remote and the contractor will require a high degree of independence, flexibility, practical skills and resourcefulness. The applicant should be accustomed to working without supervision and assistance for extended periods.
The role will report to the DEC District Manager or delegated officer and requires contact with DEC staff and community members including DEC volunteers, neighbouring pastoralists, adjacent mining lease operators (includes salt harvesting), local Aboriginal people and contractors. As a representative of DEC in the district, the contractor will require considerable personal discretion and good public communication and negotiation skills.
