Here’s a look at some of the latest senior executive news from Councils around the country.
VIC: Colac Otway Shire Council has extended the tenure of its Acting CEO, Andrew Tenni, announcing that he will continue as Interim CEO until the appointment of a permanent CEO.
Mr Tenni has been in the Acting CEO position since the resignation of Anne Howard, who is taking up the CEO position at Darebin City Council next month.
While the recruitment process for a permanent CEO is underway, Mayor Jason Schram said Mr Tenni’s experience and steady guidance will support the organisation efficiently.
QLD: Barcoo Shire Council has parted ways with its chief executive officer, Edwina Marks.
The council issued a statement late last week announcing that it had resolved to conclude Ms Marks’ employment tenure.
Tony Klein has stepped into the role of Acting CEO.
Meanwhile, Palm Island Aboriginal Shire Council has made a similar move, voting not to offer a further contract to its CEO Michael Bissell.
Mr Bissell concluded his time at the council on Friday, and Stephen Martin has been appointed acting CEO.
Neither council has provided any further explanation for their decisions.
