Southern Grampians Shire Council

Southern Grampians Shire was formed in September 1994 by the amalgamation of the former Shires of Dundas, Mount Rouse, Wannon and the City of Hamilton. Working for Southern Grampians Shire Council means you'll be joining a dedicated and supportive team who are committed to a culture of strong, positive leadership, respect and integrity. We are looking for skilled, loyal and dedicated people who are committed to progressing new initiatives and are driven to provide the very best service to our community. We offer work-based training opportunities, flexible working conditions and provide a great work/life balance. This is your chance to work in an environment that is both diverse, professionally challenging and rewarding. The Southern Grampians Shire spans the heart of Victoria's renowned ‘Western District'. The Shire is located 290 kilometres west of Melbourne and 500 kilometres south east of Adelaide. With a population of almost 16,000, Southern Grampians covers an area of 6,655 square kilometres. Hamilton is the main retail and service centre supported by the smaller towns of Balmoral, Branxholme, Byaduk, Cavendish, Coleraine, Dunkeld, Glenthompson, Penshurst and Tarrington. The Southern Grampians Shire has a strong sense of community with people working together to achieve common goals and outcomes. This sense of community benefits the entire municipality and Council will continue to encourage and acknowledge the community interest in the development of our Shire.
