Maitland City Council is a contemporary organisation and our employees have a passion for delivering high quality services to our community. When opportunities arise to join our team we search long and hard for the right person, not just the right resume, who complements our dynamic and diverse workforce. Built on the banks of the Hunter River, Maitland is one of the oldest regional centres in Australia. It is also one of the fastest growing inland cities in Australia and it continues to be a key centre in the Hunter Region. The local government area covers 396km² from Woodberry in the east to Lochinvar in the west, Tocal to the north, and Gillieston Heights to the south. Our nearly 70,000 residents are settled in town centres, new and growing suburbs and quiet rural areas. Our residents come from a broad cross section of society and by 2023, it is expected about 90,000 people will call our city home.
