Outside of whether they will give you the role, the civil service will unlikely be able to match your pay unless you bring some specialised skills like finance/economics/tech/cyber security etc. Even then, you need to be Director level, and a seasoned Director.

Minister Chan shared in Parliament recently that civil service senior management (i.e. Directors and above) earn between 200 to 260k. 200k is probably for a young Director, 40-45 years of age. So at your current wage you are already earning maybe a 50s Director age.

I am looking to join civil / public role for more work life balanced and stability
I am close to 40 yrs old and earning annual income of $240k
Hoping to get 10% increment, what is my bracket in terms of MX scheme and what role should I be applying for?

Found this.
Assume 5 months bonus.
Annual Package in 2022
MX 11 ranges from $81k to $141k
MX10 ranges from $119 to $195k
MX9 ranges from $189k to $295k (Superscale)

Since my asking is 240k x 110% = 264k annual falls under MX9 so chances is extremely low as CS prefer to promote internally for superscale?

Why not?
Have better and bigger understanding of outside world and exposure.
Provide stronger perspective and improve the working culture of the team.

Seems like quite a hostile environment. Better to avoid then.
