The Goulburn Post has reported that Goulburn Mulwaree Council chief Aaron Johannson has resigned with immediate effect.
The resignation has been triggered by an “untenable” relationship with Mayor Nina Dillon,.
Mr Johansson resigned by phone on Friday and will serve out four week’s notice while on annual leave.
He told the Post that multiple factors played a role in his decision, with differences of opinion with the mayor over council finances being a key reason.
Cr Dillon was elected mayor by the Council last month in a three way contest requiring two rounds of voting.
Mr Johannson has been the council’s CEO since July 2022 and was previously CEO of Charters Towers Regional Council in Queensland. Goulburn Post$
