Yass Valley Council has announced the appointment of experienced administrator Gayleen Burley as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Ms Burley, who brings extensive experience from roles across northern NSW including Glen Innes-Severn and Port Macquarie-Hastings councils, will take up the position in mid-April on a five-year contract.
Mayor Jasmin Jones says the council was particularly impressed by Ms Burley’s commercial expertise and understanding of the region’s heritage and economic potential.
The new CEO will replace Acting Chief Executive Julie Costa, who has led the council since November.
