We're looking for a commercially sharp, hands-on Park Manager to take the reins at Rockhampton, one of Central Queensland's strongest operational tourism parks.

• Leading a team of approximately 35 staff

• Taking pride in our product: 106 cabins & 70 sites
• Driving revenue, occupancy, and operational performance (the park currently sits around 84% occupancy)

You won't be stuck behind a desk; You'll be visible, hands-on, and across every part of the operation.

What You're Walking Into

• A steady, established operational business
• A corporate focus park with strong visibility across the group
• A team ready for strong leadership and accountability
• A clear opportunity to continue elevating standards and performance
• Future development potential (yes - there's a plan)
• Strong onboarding systems and support around you

About You

Ultimately, We're looking for a commercial leader who has previously:

• Run a park, hotel, resort, village, or accommodation site
• Managed budgets, occupancy, and commercial performance
• Built standards... and held them
• Coached leaders and know how to get the best out of people

But more than anything, You take ownership.
