Roundup Unfiltered, with Greater Geelong CEO Ali Wastie

Interview New episode

The latest episode of Roundup Unfiltered is now available for all listeners, featuring the CEO of the City of Greater Geelong, Ali Wastie.

Ali Wastie took on the role of CEO at Greater Geelong in August of 2023 after a period of turmoil at the council that saw the appointment of municipal monitors; questions about the process to recruit a new CEO raised by MPs in Parliament; and concerns raised publicly about the Council’s financial sustainability.

Ali joins Chris Eddy to discuss her approach to leading Victoria’s largest provincial city with one of the biggest workforces in the sector, the ongoing involvement of municipal monitors at the council, and she balances a demanding role with her other interests and obligations.
