About Bega Valley Shire Council
What is Bega Valley Shire Council?
Bega Valley Shire Council serves the Sapphire Coast of far-south New South Wales — Bega, Merimbula, Eden and the beaches and forests between them. Around 350 staff deliver planning, projects, water and sewer, children's services and community facilities.
Where will I work?
Across the Bega Valley: the civic centre in Bega plus libraries, aquatic centres and depots along the coast.
What is the Bega Valley team like?
Project managers, town planners, children's-services educators and treatment operators working for a coastal community of about 35,000.
Work-Life Balance
Council roles are advertised with a "Rostered day off scheme (9 day fortnight)" — the project-manager ad states it directly, and other full-time ads pair "38 hours per week" with "9 day fortnight". Nine working days per fortnight, every fortnight.
Perks and Benefits
- Rostered day off scheme — a 9-day fortnight
- Leaseback or commuter-use vehicle on some roles
- NSW local-government superannuation
