Role Title: Evaluation Intern: Mosquito prevention options
Organisation: Shire of Wagin
Internship Period: Summer (November - December)
Location: Wagin and from home
The Shire of Wagin has problem with mosquitos. Every year, the Shire deploys a chemical to kill mosquitos just after they hatch but this treatment is contingent on weather and is occasionally controversial. While it is probably more effective than doing nothing, this approach doesn't stop people complaining about mosquitos and the real impact that they have to quality of life.
The intern will assist the team to apply some science to the Shire's approach and reconsider options for mosquito treatment. The intern will produce a report outlining our current approach, identifying and evaluating available options and assessing costings of potential alternatives.
The Shire of Wagin is a focussed Local Government providing progressive and innovative leadership that builds a sustainable future while supporting a vibrant, healthy and caring community.
