John Tanner’s appointment as administrator of Moira Shire Council has been extended for a further six months.
Mr Tanner will continue as the Chairperson of the Panel of Administrators for the same period.
Moira Shire Council was dismissed and placed under administration earlier this year after the release of a Commission of Inquiry report, and Mr Tanner’s initial appointment was until the 8th December this year.
Former MP Suzanna Sheed and former Council CEO and state government executive Dr Graeme Emonson were appointed to the panel of administrators in June 2023 for the period up until the first meeting after general council elections in October 2028.
