Apace operates a nursery in North Fremantle, using both paid and volunteer workforce, as well as revegetation contract services, seed collection, training, other sustainable environmental projects and a community garden.

The organisation is at a point of change and will be undergoing a strategic planning process in 2024 to set the direction for the organisation.

The CoM is seeking people who understand and take their obligations as directors seriously, and who are capable of having robust but respectful discussions. People with skills and experience in one or more of the following areas will be highly regarded:

• Governance, strategy and risk management
• Commerce, business development and grant funding
• Financial management
• Nursery and revegetation management, including knowledge of the plants of the Swan Coastal Plain.

The term of appointment is approximately one year. All positions on the CoM are held on a voluntary basis.
