Description

Business Support & Projects Officer

The Richmond Valley is the rural heart of the Northern Rivers, with wide open spaces and room to grow. We’re a down-to-earth, friendly community with a relaxed lifestyle - where you can still enjoy the welcome of a country town, a family holiday by the beach, or a campfire under an open sky.

It’s a place of opportunity, where you can get a start in life – build your first home, raise a family, buy your first acreage, or start your own business. And where success is earned through hard work, persistence, and the courage to get back on your feet in hard times.

Our Valley is defined by quiet determination and resilience. When challenges come, we endure, we recover, and we rise once again to rebuild. Our people are connected to the past through our stories, culture and unique identity – and we are connected to each other through a shared love of this place and our community.
