Adelaide Hills Council has ended its employment relationship with Chief Executive Officer Greg Georgopoulos, with the decision made at a special council meeting held on Wednesday.

The council said a change in executive leadership was needed to support its future direction and strategic priorities. In a statement, it thanked Georgopoulos for his service, commitment to the community and contribution to the council’s preparedness for future sustainability.

Georgopoulos joined Adelaide Hills Council as CEO in July 2023. He previously spent five years as CEO of Kangaroo Island Council, and held earlier local government roles at the City of Prospect and City of Port Adelaide Enfield.

Under the terms of his contract, Georgopoulos will receive six months’ pay in lieu of notice.

Director of Environment and Infrastructure Jade Ballantine has been appointed Acting Chief Executive Officer. The council says it will soon begin recruiting a permanent CEO as part of what it describes as a “refreshed strategic vision” for the region.
