Remote / Work from Home
We’re looking for a Town/Urban Planning Specialist who can volunteer remotely (from home) for 3 months. Join the Australian Volunteers Program to contribute to sustainable development across Solomon Islands.
The Guadalcanal Provincial Government is the state arm of the National Government of Solomon Islands, providing services to the people of the island province of Guadalcanal. The Provincial Government is currently undertaking a major organisational review and restructuring programme. The mission is to effectively and efficiently carry out the economic, political, social and administrative functions of the Province through good and collaborative governance, research and innovation, strategic partnerships, and the delivery of programmes, review and restructure the Province’s organisational structure, and develop the capacity of members of the Assembly and the provincial administrative staff. Urban development arrangements with the national government and Honiara City Council on key areas such as land issues and urban expansion are a huge challenge. As such, urban planning and development becomes a key priority for the Guadalcanal Provincial Government. The Province has no provisions to establish such a role and cannot afford to hire persons with relevant experience and qualifications to provide advice on urban land and development issues and must look towards a remote volunteer at this time.
We actively support and encourage people of all backgrounds and abilities to volunteer internationally and aim to make the program as accessible and inclusive as possible. - Find out more
