Details: The ACT Office of the Surveyor-General and Land Information is seeking a highly skilled, motivated and proactive person to lead a small team which supports the delivery and maintenance of the ACT Government place naming processes which includes supporting the work of the ACT Place Names Advisory Committee.

Placenames in the ACT are enduring and reflect a national focus in commemorating persons of national significance and things characteristic of Australia which may include words from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages.
