Craig Lloyd, CERO, Murrindindi Council

The Victorian Government has agreed to fund 41 positions within the Murrindindi municipality for a period of six months, in a total investment of $1.51 million.

Shire CEO Craig Lloyd said this is a welcome boost for local people and the local economy.

“We were thrilled by the prospect of partnering with the Victorian Government to help deliver this initiative.

“We successfully sought funding support for 41 new six-month positions to work across a range of Council’s activities.

“These positions span a variety of roles, skills and experience, including environmental health, waste management, communications, nursing, outdoor operations, finance and human resources.

“A full range of the positions on offer are listed on our website at murrindindi.vic.gov.au/workingforvictoria”, said Mr Lloyd.

“To be successful in winning one of these jobs, applicants will need to meet the minimum criteria for the role, like for any other appointment process.

“But we are giving preference to applicants from within our Shire or neighbouring Shires so we see the full benefits of these appointments flowing through to our area.

“We want these jobs to go to local people, but locals need to register for that to happen.

“If you haven’t done so already and you are interested in these positions, please check out the ‘Working for Victoria’ webpage at www.vic.gov.au/workingforvictoria and click on the ‘Looking for Work’ link.

“Please note that all applications for these roles must come through this website – Council cannot accept applications directly,” Mr Lloyd said.
