Just skimmed the position description. Essentially 11 pages of duties and responsibilities - waffles on like it's a government job. So much gobble-d-gook I find it hard to sift through it all and work out what you'd actually be doing on a day-to-day basis. I guess the first week would be spent decrypting the acronyms! And seems a bit tough to specify a maximum of 2 pages for your application when the job description itself rambles on for 11 pages.

From reading its seems like the area they are talking about is from the saltpans just off the Port Wakefield Road right up the coast through St Kilda and ending close to the testing range. Straight line from the saltpans to Mallala is about 55 kml
That means the neighbours will be industry on one side, beginning with the saltpans as they are an active industry, a sewage treatment works, horse owners and trainers, a race course, farmers, in the middle will be householders all along that area, lots of dog showing people in that area, boaties and fishermen near St Kilda, also in St Kilda a big kids play area right on the coast with huge equipment, although if the applicant could attract some birds that eat mozzies that would be appreciated (squadrons of Spitfire sizes ones there ) and if the area goes high enough up the coast possibly even the Ministry of Defence.
Sounds like they should have included conflict resolution in the job requirements.

Gawd tell me about it! I'm in the process of applying for some govt jobs at the moment. They put up job descriptions like that and without a hint of irony also include "must be good at communication"

BB but at least it is on the beach!

Very true, but those beaches are a loooonnnngggg way from being anything like Bondi.

Would be pretty good gig if I wasn't on a kooshi government job already, didnt have a mortgage or aviary or family

would be a good experience

Don’t tell the rest of us hard working TAX payers how kooshi your government job is .
