An average day at work can vary greatly within the scopes of the horticulture industry depending on current works with maintenance being to the highest standards at all times while planning and implementing new works into schedules which is based around hot, dry and wet seasons with the inclusion of town park and river front upgrades. All employees are given the opportunity for ongoing training for advancement, with full support from management to further your skill set as an asset to the company. Being a sub tropical climate summer can be hard at times but when you enjoy what you do it's really not all that bad. Quite easily the best part of the job is self satisfaction

I learned many skills here especially working with customers and how to handle stressed out callers and ratepayers etc and calm them down when they had a complaint.  The most enjoyable part of the job was working with the other staff as part of a team.

The team I worked with was very friendly and welcoming towards me when I was new. A typical day in an admin role consisted of filing, mailing, emailing, and customer service. I enjoyed my time working within this position and it provided me with an insight on how an administration office functions.

 Good work environment with plenty of support available. Comprehensive training given to ensure you know all aspects of the job. Good opportunities to give feedback through event reporting. 

typical day involved discussions of planed work and ensuring everybody worked in a safe manner, always learning new technics of road construction and maintenance

Staff can "ruin" a good place to work, which it was, the work load was very high, dealing with a very public place, staff didn't like to be criticised and management tried to make everyone happy, which doesn't happen

Plenty of training and opportunities for advancement.  Good salary and excellent superannuation scheme.  A friendly and caring workplace culture with a strong focus on service delivery and customer experience.

I find the council a very good place to  work. They have been very supportive when wanting to better yourself, it’s a very well balanced organisation that provides training and opportunity they are well structured

Everyone is very friendly and fun to work with but also make sure all work gets done. Always looking out for each other.

I started working here on a traineeship and with ongoing training and hard work I was able to progress and further myself and I find the management are very supportive and it's also a great work /lifestyle roster.
