More information
A Land Manager oversees the use of natural resource areas including conservation zones and development precincts. You might work for a government department, a property developer or an environmental organisation. Land Managers ensure natural resources are protected, including flora, fauna and cultural sites. You might speak with the public about land use issues or liaise with other stakeholders.
Land Managers should have a good understanding of development issues and be passionate about nature conservation. You’ll spend time working outdoors and should be ready to work in a range of weather conditions. Land Managers need strong leadership skills and should be able to communicate with people from a range of backgrounds. You’ll need to be organised and able to manage your time well.
