Murchison Shire might be small in population, but we are big in size and heart.
Located some 300km from Geraldton and 650km from Perth, Murchison Settlement is entirely Council managed. Council office, depot, housing, power and water supply, community and recreation facilities, Roadhouse and Caravan Park are now all under our umbrella.
The Shire has a revamped community focus and a raft of new projects to implement. As with all councils, especially small ones, this very much depends on the skills and capabilities of each individual. In our instance we have additional housing costs and considerations which means that where we can have more than one staff member employed and reside in one house the operational costs reduce.
This situation may apply to some of the current vacant positions we have on offer, which due to unusual circumstances are larger in number than is normal.
We are currently seeking the following:
|
Administration & Roadhouse

Community Role (New position)

Mechanic (Replacement position)

Further information about these positions can be obtained by contacting the Shire Office on 08 9963 7999 or email admin@murchison.wa.gov.au
There is no specific closing date, but applications received before 5 December 2023 will be considered as soon as practicable, otherwise a mid-January 2024 outcome is being aimed for.
