Goulburn-Murray Water (G-MW) is seeking to appoint an independent Traditional Owner delegate to its board.
G-MW chair Diane James said Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people who would like to share their knowledge and develop their skills to pursue future board positions were encouraged to apply.
“The 12-month, part-time role will enable the successful applicant to develop their skills and experience on a public sector board, including in the areas of strategic planning, managing risks and governance,” Ms James said.
“Previous board experience is not required; however, an interest in water management, a connection to community, a willingness to learn and the ability to contribute to an effective board culture are important.”
The role will not have the same responsibilities as a board director and does not hold voting rights.
“G-MW already engages with the region’s Traditional Owner groups on a range of matters and projects,” Ms James said.
“We are keen to build on these partnerships and support the goals outlined in the Victorian Government’s Water is Life framework, which provides a pathway for Traditional Owners to Care for Country in ways that benefit them, the natural environment, and wider communities.”
Applications close on Sunday, November 10.
