The Anindilyakwa Land Council (ALC) represents the Traditional Owners of the Groote Archipelago. The ALC is a ‘future-forward’ Land Council, directed by the 14 clans of the Groote Archipelago region, enabling the Anindilyakwa people to take full advantage of the opportunities and technology available in the 21st century, while simultaneously preserving land, language and culture.

The Mining & Land Compliance Officer ensures that mining, leasing, quarrying, infrastructure and other third-party activities on the Groote Archipelago comply with applicable agreements, lease conditions, legislation and ALC requirements. The role coordinates Mining Lease application matters, Section 19 lease processes, undertakes audits and inspections, maintains accurate compliance and spatial records, monitors royalty and compensation obligations, and supports timely corrective or enforcement action. The Officer works closely with Traditional Owners, ALC teams, lease holders, mining representatives, government agencies and specialist advisers to protect Traditional Owner interests, strengthen governance and support lawful and responsible use of Country. Whilst ALC would prefer the suitable candidate to be based on Groote Eylandt, we would consider being based in Darwin for the right candidate.

You will need a minimum three years’ experience in compliance, land administration, resources, regulation, auditing, governance or a related field, with demonstrated ability to interpret and apply legislation, agreements, lease conditions, policies and procedures. The successful candidate will also hold a current C Class Driver Licence, a valid Ochre Card (or the ability to obtain one), and a National Police Check prior to appointment.
