Role Description:
Do you have:
- a commitment to the protection of the natural environment;
- skills and experience in management, finance, business administration, marketing, nature conservation, landcare, Aboriginal cultural heritage or legal practice; and
- an interest in applying these to the continuing growth of a successful community-based, not-for-profit landcare organisation?
The South East Regional Centre for Urban Landcare (SERCUL) is looking for people like you to join its board. There will be four board vacancies for 2026-27.
The board meets monthly for two hours to monitor and determine:
- the implementation of SERCUL’s strategic directions; and
- policy, procedural and high-level management issues.
There are no sitting fees.
SERCUL has been providing environmental services to the southern region of Perth and beyond for 23 years through landcare and restoration, education, support of community environment groups, monitoring and research. It raises about 60 per cent of its income by providing contract environmental and education services and receives the remainder from grant funding and partnerships with the Australian, State and local governments.
SERCUL’s 50-plus staff can be found working on projects from Mandurah to Stirling and from Fremantle to Kalamunda.
Board meetings are held at SERCUL’s headquarters on an historic property at Horley Road, Beckenham which has been restored to become a heritage and environmental showpiece.
For further information about becoming a board member please refer to the Board Position Information Sheet.
