Cairns Regional Council’s chief executive, Mica Martin, has resigned.
Her resignation was accepted by the council at a special meeting today.
A report proposing CEO recruitment arrangements will be tabled at the upcoming Ordinary Council Meeting on Wednesday 1 May.
The Cairns Post reported that the resignation was imminent earlier today, after speculation that Ms Martin’s relationship with new mayor Cr Amy Eden was “untenable”.
It is the fifth resignation of a council CEO in Queensland since the March elections, following Maranoa, Bundaberg, Brisbane and Townsville.
