Geelong Acting CEO takes Council to VCAT

News

A senior executive at the City of Greater Geelong is challenging a planning decision made by his own council at VCAT.

The Age reports today that Guy Wilson Browne, currently the council’s acting chief executive, is seeking to overturn the rejection of a two lot subdivision proposal on land that he owns in St Albans Park.

Mr Wilson Browne recently resigned his substantive position as a director city services to take up a general manager position at North East Water next month.

The development application attracted a significant number of objections, and was refused by the Council despite approval being recommended by officers.
