Do you want to lead the rising star of Tasmanian eco-tourism, cultural happenings and corporate events? Spring Bay Mill seeks a General Manager to oversee the latest exciting phase in a history spanning millennia.

About SPRING BAY MILL:

Once the world’s largest woodchip mill, the Spring Bay Mill outside Triabunna on Tasmania’s spectacular east coast is being dramatically refashioned into one of Australia’s leading conference centres, corporate retreats, wedding venues, performance spaces and progressive think-tank laboratories. Future thinking happens among the 43-hectare site’s artefacts of the past: ancient aboriginal middens and rusting 20th-century industrial machinery, framed against the backdrop of nearby Maria Island. We’ve turned The Mill from environmentally destructive hub into a place of creativity, reflection, storytelling, celebration and sensitively-regenerated landscape.
