At the City of Bunbury, we take pride in being a progressive, people-first local government. As a coastal hub known for creativity, community, and innovation, we're focused on building memorable experiences that put Bunbury on the map—and that includes delivering world-class events that bring locals and visitors together.

About the Role

As our Events and Activation Officer, you'll play a key role in creating vibrant, engaging, and memorable experiences for the Bunbury community.

• Working collaboratively with internal teams, community groups, suppliers, and external stakeholders to support event promotion and delivery
• Supporting the development of management plans, operational documentation, and post-event evaluations
• Contributing to the creation of welcoming, inclusive, and engaging community experiences
• Working outside normal business hours when required to support event delivery
