About City of Moreton Bay
What is City of Moreton Bay?
City of Moreton Bay is "the third-largest government and one of the fastest-growing areas in Australia" — a Queensland local government supporting more than 500,000 residents plus visitors each year. The region spans pristine coastal villages, urban centres, and rural farmland north of Brisbane, with a population "projected to double to a million people in the next 30 years."
The Council operates from two main service centres at Caboolture (HQ) and Strathpine, with venues including libraries, galleries and museums, the Morayfield Sport & Events Centre, the Queensland State Equestrian Centre, and the Redcliffe Entertainment Centre.
Where will I work?
Working at City of Moreton Bay means a hybrid arrangement "including working from homes, flexible days and hybrid working," operating primarily from the Caboolture and Strathpine Service Centres. The Council operates across libraries, natural areas, venues, and service centres throughout the Moreton Bay region in Queensland, Australia.
What is the City of Moreton Bay team like?
The Council frames careers around three pillars: See it. Shape it. Live it. — "to build a city of the future, you first have to see it. This is your chance to help us preserve the best of what we have today and build on it for a better tomorrow."
The team is "diverse, and that makes us great" — drawn from the same communities the Council serves. Working in local government means "lots of variety" — "as we take on the challenge of building the city of the future, the opportunity to get hands-on and develop new skills and experience is greater than ever."
