Flinders Shire Council has announced the appointment of Kylie Davies as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective April 13th.
The appointment follows a national recruitment process that attracted 44 applications from across Australia.
Mayor Kate Peddle says Davies brings extensive experience in local and state government, most recently serving as Director of Regulatory Services at the Town of Port Hedland in Western Australia.
Davies, who holds a law degree and MBA, has worked on major planning reforms in Queensland and regulatory projects across multiple jurisdictions.
Mayor Peddle says the council is particularly pleased to welcome the North Queensland native back home to lead the Shire through its next phase of growth.
