Yet another Queensland Council CEO has resigned, the second resignation this week.
In an official statement, Douglas Shire Council said CEO Rachel Brophy has tendered her resignation and will finish at the council on 9th July.
Mayor Lisa Scomazzon thanked Ms Brophy for her “continued dedication, professionalism and commitment during good times and challenging situations”, noting in particular her leadership of the Council’s response to ex-TC Jasper which brought unprecedented damage across the shire.
The council statement said Ms Brophy was taking some down time to spend with family.
The website Newsport reported earlier in the day that the resignation was received in a confidential Council session this morning, and that Paul Hoye will fill the position on an interim basis until a replacement CEO is recruited.
Ms Brophy’s resignation follows the announcement of Margot Stork’s resignation from North Burnett Regional Council yesterday.
It brings the total number of Queensland Council CEOs to depart since the March elections to seven.
