Council Profile: Environmental Health Officer, Sam KC

The Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council is a significant employer in the district. Did you know there are over 68 people working for council with 57 of them being full time equivalent? Rates that fund council employee salaries nearly all go back into the Clare and Gilbert Valleys economy.

A few episodes ago you met Sara Zuromski, this month you'll get to know Sam KC, the Council’s Environmental Health Officer. This bloke deals with a variety of areas such as waste water treatment, mosquito trapping to ward off Japanese Encephalitis and health inspections at our local businesses.

Sam is originally from Nepal and has been living and working in the Clare Valley for a year. He’s been confronted with tasks he’s never done before but enjoys tackling the challenges the role brings. And though it’s far from Nepal, the Valley reminds him a lot of home.
