About the role

Integrated Water Management (IWM) is a collaborative approach to water planning and management that brings together the management of water resources, land, and community needs to deliver multiple social, environmental, cultural, and economic benefits. IWM recognises the interconnectedness of the water cycle — including drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, and waterways — and the need to manage water in a more integrated and place-based way.

Working within the Water Resources Team, the IWM Officer is responsible for:

• Developing and delivering a four-year Integrated Water Management initiative work plan
• Demonstrating active delivery and leadership within the regional IWM programs and a cohort of CMA IWM practitioners
• Providing a central point of contact for IWM-related activities within the Glenelg Hopkins CMA, and
• Engagement with key partners and stakeholders around the delivery of IWM.

The IWM Officer facilitates the identification of IWM opportunities linked to existing CMA programs and functions, supports internal capacity building, and identifies and implements actions to embed IWM across CMA strategies, operations, and decision-making processes.
