Kaveri Shrestha, Environmental Officer

"It's been great working in a more operational role - so different to what I've done in the past. It's hands-on and every day is different. There is so much on-the-job learning, and I've built practical skills and problem-solving techniques that I can use at home too."

Chris Barnes, Manager Emergency Management and Public Safety

"One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is seeing the positive impacts my team has on our communities in their time of need. We provide vital information that helps people get through uncertain, risky and challenging natural disasters."

James Nicholson, Library Programs and Engagement Lead

"Many people are looking to Council as the benchmark now... there is so much energy, innovation, and momentum in our libraries. It's exciting to be a part of that and the development opportunities it brings."
