Former Georges River and Ryde council general manager Gail Connolly has been announced as the new CEO of the City of Parramatta.
The appointment of Ms Connolly, who was awarded a Public Service Medal earlier this year, was announced by Lord Mayor Donna Davis after an extensive national search.
In addition to leading Georges River and Ryde councils, Ms Connolly has previously held senior roles at Gold Coast, Sydney and Campbelltown councils.
The CEO position at Parramatta was vacated last year by Brett Newman, who left for a role in the private sector.
