This is the cleanest air in the world."
Situated in the north-west of Tasmania and with its main towns of Ulverstone and Penguin, Central Coast is home to over 23,000 people.
From its northern beaches, the boundary extends southward through fertile countryside to the rugged Leven Canyon and the Black Bluff Mountain range – boasting snow-capped peaks in the depths of winter – the Central Coast region is a vibrant, thriving community.
The Role This is a unique opportunity in a unique lifestyle location.
The role of Chief Executive Officer supports councillors, staff, and the community in developing and delivering a clear vision for a vibrant and sustainable Central Coast region.
This role will embed a culture of continuous improvement in the organisation and will provide leadership, foster and drive local economic development at every opportunity, and demonstrate a commitment to the Central Coast region, its people, and the future.

About You Central Coast is a thriving region which, whilst presenting great opportunities, brings with it associated challenges.
As a creative thinker, you will be comfortable generating alternatives, visualising new possibilities, challenging assumptions, and opening yourself up to new information.
A highly regarded leader of people, you will have a history of leading organisations and communities through periods of growth and change, building cultures that both you and the organisation are proud of and being firmly focused on outcomes.
As would be expected of such a role, highly developed communication and advocacy skills are essential, as is the ability to develop effective partnerships with a wide variety of internal and external stakeholder groups.
