The Royal Melbourne Showgrounds is host to the Royal Melbourne Show in addition to a wide variety of events and activities, including trade shows, exhibitions, expos and festivals.  As Melbourne’s largest and most versatile venue covering 19 hectares, it offers a unique range of indoor and outdoor spaces including purpose-built exhibition and event spaces in well maintained heritage buildings. The Royal Melbourne Showgrounds Joint Venture Board was established in 2003 as a joint initiative of Melbourne Royal (previously the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria) and the State Government of Victoria. It is the contracting authority responsible for redevelopment of the Showgrounds facilities under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement, which took place in 2004-2006, and the ongoing management of the assets, including ensuring the 25-year contract with the Showgrounds Concessionaire is properly managed through to 2031. The Joint Venture Board comprises an Independent Chairperson, three State Directors and three Melbourne Royal Directors, as well as alternate members from each Joint Venture party.  We are seeking applications from those who may have an interest in and are suitably qualified to be appointed as a State Director. State Directors are expected to have exposure to or understand PPP principles and bring contract management, finance and/or facility management experience to effectively contribute to the Joint Venture Board. The three State Directors (and an alternate member) will be experienced in corporate governance and bring complementary skills in the following areas: strong commercial acumen; the ability to identify strategic business opportunities, deliver innovative solutions; and large-scale project and facilities management. An understanding of Victorian Agribusiness, the ability to lead and implement change, and to work collaboratively with stakeholders and community to drive outcomes are also key requirements. High level skills in one or more of the following will be favourably considered: finance; investment; project management; business development; and/or law.  State Government experience in Public Private Partnerships will be highly regarded. The Victorian Government is committed to ensuring that government agencies reflect the rich diversity of the Victorian community. We encourage applications from women, people of all ages, Aboriginal people, people with disability, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, LGBTIQA+ people, and people living in rural and regional Victoria.
