The new permanent CEO of Baw Baw Shire Council has been revealed, after three interim CEOs and some ten months since Mark Dupe resigned the position in November last year.

Tilla Buden, a senior executive with experience at Greater Dandenong, Yarra Ranges and Bayside Councils, will take up the role on 17th November.
Ms Buden is currently the Director of Community and Customer Experience at Bayside, a role she has held since August 2022.
Mayor Danny Goss said Tilla’s leadership skills, strategic vision and genuine commitment to community will be invaluable in helping shape a strong and vibrant future for Baw Baw.
He also thanked John Bennie for his support and dedication as interim CEO since March this year.
Martin Hopley and Cohen Van der Velde also spent time in the interim role after Mr Dupe’s departure late last year.
