**Company Description The Kangaroo Island Landscape Board works with the local community to care for the island’s land, water, coast and biodiversity while supporting productive, sustainable agriculture.

Established under the Landscape South Australia Act 2019, the Board works in partnership with landholders, primary producers, community groups, Traditional Owners, researchers, volunteers and government agencies to improve the health and resilience of Kangaroo Island’s landscapes.

Our work spans biodiversity conservation, sustainable agriculture, pest plant and animal management, biosecurity, water resources, climate resilience and environmental education.

Board Members contribute to strategic decision-making by reviewing and approving plans, budgets and policies, monitoring organisational performance, managing risk and ensuring sound governance.



The role also includes engaging with community members and stakeholders to understand local priorities, fostering collaboration across sectors, and helping guide programs that support healthy landscapes, resilient communities and sustainable agriculture.

This is a community-based governance role on Kangaroo Island, with attendance at scheduled Board and committee meetings.
