Message from the CEO

Our region is rapidly evolving, and we are looking for dynamic people to be a part of the team to lead us into the future. If you are looking for a career change that will provide you with challenge, professional growth, and great lifestyle, then the Fraser Coast Regional Council is where you need to be.

The Fraser Coast is one of Queensland’s oldest, and fastest growing regions, built on the back of manufacturing, agriculture and a growing tourism and health sector.

We are perfectly placed on the doorstep of south-east Queensland, three hours north of Brisbane and two hours north of the Sunshine Coast - close enough to the action, but far enough away to live in tranquil settings.

We have a fantastic climate all year round and are blessed with a natural beauty that includes rainforests, beaches and rolling farmland surrounding the major centres of Hervey Bay, Maryborough and Fraser Island (K’Gari).

Our purpose statement is “Building better communities together”. It doesn’t matter what your role is within our Council, whether it is patching roads, mowing parks, or working at the Brolga Theatre - we are all focussed on working together to improve our community’s lifestyle.

At Fraser Coast Regional Council, we believe in values and relationship-based leadership. We only recruit people that we believe can demonstrate our TRAITS values in their behaviour and actions to ensure that we have a culture where everybody can work to the peak of their effectiveness.

Our TRAITS are:

  • Trust: Being credible and reliable

  • Respect: Having regard for rights and needs

  • Accountability: Owning behaviour and results

  • Initiative: Being proactive and resourceful

  • Teamwork: Combining efforts to achieve

  • Service: Being customer focused

If you feel you have the right TRAITS, experience, and capability, we would love for you to consider working for us.
