Profile

I have been a Revenue Professional in Local Government since 2015 initially at the Rural City of Murray Bridge and then from November 2019 at the Campbelltown City Council.

Prior to that, I had worked in customer service and finance roles, so working in rates is ideal for me as both skillsets are required.

I joined the Revenue Professionals SA as a Board Member in February 2018 as when I was a new Rates Officer I found the support received from the RPSA & my fellow members was invaluable to being able to perform the role. I am passionate about helping new Revenue Professionals by having a forum for them to ask questions, informative resources readily available, to share information & keep members up to date with the many changes that occur within our industry to assist them in their roles.

I took on the role of President for RPSA in early 2020 and have found it challenging yet rewarding. Facing the events that have been affecting our industry and our world, with the need to adapt quickly to our ever-changing new ‘normal’.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family & friends, reading, watching movies and card making.

I look forward to working with the Board to continue to support our members.

I began my Local Government career in 2005 with the Mount Barker District Council Records team before starting in the Rates department in early 2006. The challenges of rating have given me the appetite to develop my knowledge in the field with the completion of a number of Local Government qualifications with a Rates focus.

Mount Barker District Council is one of the fastest growing councils in Australia offering outstanding lifestyle and business opportunities within a diverse and progressive community, currently there are approximately 18,100 assessments in the district.

I like to spend the majority of my time outside of work with my young family and have a passion for cricket, footy and motorsport.

I began my career in Local Government with the former District Council of Onkaparinga way back in 1979 when staff were multi-skilled, not specialised in areas like we work in today. Adelaide Hills Council was formed in 1997 following the amalgamation of the former District Councils of Stirling, Gumeracha, Onkaparinga and East Torrens. Adelaide Hills Council has approximately 18,750 assessments and the rates team is staffed by 1.9 FTE during peak times.

Outside of work I like to spend time with family and friends; reading and caravanning holidays.

I have been working in Local Government for the last 30 years of which 28 have been spent in rating services and finance. Looking after accounts payable, accounts receivable, property searches and rates. I think this has given me a broad knowledge of all things finance. One of the things I love about my job is seeing enthusiastic and passionate newcomers start to build their knowledge around rating services and the vast and interesting challenges we face every day. It certainly never boring.

Things I love to do when not at work are spending time with family including 6 beautiful grandchildren, gardening and holidays both locally as I love SA and interstate.

I studied at university in Bristol (England) and moved to Australia in 1994.

After many years of hard work and commitment, being recognised as a key legal adviser to local government in South Australia both by clients and my peers in the ‘Best Lawyers Awards’, it was in 2012 that, together with Natasha, I took the opportunity to open our boutique legal practice, KelledyJones Lawyers.

My areas of expertise are all matters ‘local government’ whether legislative in nature or common law based. I provide legal advice including in a strategic, political and business context in contentious, sensitive and difficult matters. I enjoy presenting at sector conferences (both nationally and within South Australia) and have been widely published in local government publications.

Outside of the office I am a bit of a “foodie” and look forward to spending time in the kitchen trying out recipes (in particular, making them pescatarian or vegetarian-friendly). I enjoy watching my boys play sport and spending time with my (nearly four going on fourteen) daughter at our home in the Adelaide Hills.

I have been a full time employee with the Kingston District Council since 2007, where my main role has been as the ‘Senior Property Officer’. Being a small regional council, my role has been very diverse and included land and property management, coastal projects, procurement and supervising council’s rates function. More recently, I have been transitioning into a new position of ‘Team Leader Sustainability and Projects’ and mentoring Council’s rates and property officer.

Outside of the office, I love gardening, cooking, being in the fresh air or at the beach and spending time with my pet golden retriever, Lulu.

I started working for Rural City of Murray Bridge in 2009 as a Records Officer. I was in records for about 5 years until I transferred to the finance department as the Accounts Receivable Officer. After about a year of just doing Accounts receivable I started assisting in the Rates area. I just did basic rates tasks but after a while I took over all the debt collection for rates. Just recently I have stopped doing accounts receivable and now solely work in rates. I am currently studying the Diploma in Local Government – Rates through Norman Waterhouse.

Profile

I began my career in Local Government in 2011; fresh out of high school, as the District Council of Mount Remarkable’s administration trainee. After a short stint in the private sector, I returned to the District Council of Mount Remarkable in 2015 and now work in an administrative role, predominantly within our rating department. However I am somewhat a “Jack of all trades”, supporting other Council departments including building and development, environmental health, records, works, finance and even the Melrose post office, amongst other areas. I am currently studying UniSA’s Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) and am involved in a number of local volunteer groups.
