Hornsby Shire Council has accepted the resignation of General Manager Steven Head, who is stepping down after six years in the role for personal reasons.
The Chronicle reported that the resignation came suddenly at a Council meeting, taking councillors by surprise.
During his tenure since 2018, Head oversaw major projects including the Hornsby Town Centre Masterplan and Hornsby Park transformation, while maintaining the council’s strong financial position through challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Glen Magus, Director Corporate Support, has been appointed as Acting General Manager to ensure continuity during the transition period.
