Local Government Minister Nick Staikos has appointed a municipal monitor to Hobsons Bay City Council.
John Tanner AM, a former chair of administrators at Moira Shire Council and a previous administrator at Brimbank Council, has been tasked with supporting good governance processes and practices at the council.
His appointment commences 2nd June and will run through 31st December this year.
The appointment follows a period of turmoil at the council in which its CEO Aaron Van Egmond has departed after he and a number of other senior executives were suspended pending investigations into allegations of unsafe work practices.
There are six current municipal monitor appointments in place at Victorian councils, plus a Commission of Inquiry underway for Whittlesea City Council.
