Job description

Located in the heart of Stanthorpe’s historic Railway Station Precinct, Whistle Stop Heritage and Community Garden (trading as Stanthorpe Training Centre Inc) is a passionate NFP organisation focused on bringing people together.

We cultivate more than just plants—we nurture community spirit, teach sustainable skills, and boost regional well-being on the Granite Belt. Through our garden, nursery, and secondhand bookshop, we offer a secure, nature-filled space for social connection and learning.

Whistle Stop Heritage and Community Garden is calling for expressions of interest for role of Ordinary Member on our management committee.

Strategic Governance
Participate in regular committee meetings to review, discuss, and vote on organisational strategies, policies, and operational directions.

Fiduciary Duty
Review organisational financial statements and ensure operations align with ethical and legal standards.
