A Council CEO is making a move from Victoria to Queensland, with news of the appointment of John Baker as the new chief of Sunshine Coast Council.
Mr Baker has been CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire in Victoria since 2018, and was reappointed on a new four year contract in June 2022.
Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said the council was impressed with his extensive experience in the United Kingdom and Australia in large public and private sector organisations, and his track record in stakeholder management and in politically complex environments.
He takes up the Sunshine Coast role in December, and recruitment of a new CEO will be first order of business for the incoming council at Mornington Peninsula.
