Experienced state and local government practitioner Jim Gifford has been announced as the first of two municipal monitors to be appointed at Glenelg Shire Council.
The second monitor will be announced once probity processes have been completed.
The three month term of the municipal monitors commences on Monday, 13th November, in accordance with Terms of Reference published earlier this week.
Local Government Minister Melissa Horne said Mr Gifford “will use his experience, skills and knowledge to great effect in this important task”.
Glenelg Shire Council also announced the appointment today of former Hindmarsh Council CEO Greg Wood as its Acting CEO for a term of up to six months.
