In a busy week for CEO level news from Victorian councils, Merri-bek City Council has announced the reappointment of its CEO Cathy Henderson for a new term of five years.
Ms Henderson commenced at then-Moreland City Council in December 2019. The new term will take effect in December, effectively extending her time in the position to the end of 2029.
Mayor Cr Adam Pulford said the council’s decision to reappoint this week came after Ms Henderson “had delivered strong results for Council and the Merri-bek community in her first term as CEO”.
Meanwhile, Glenelg Shire Council has appointed former Greater Bendigo CEO Craig Neimann as interim CEO for an eight week period.
Mr Neimann will take over from Greg Wood, whose term as acting CEO concludes this week. Mr Wood has held the reins since last November when former CEO Paul Phelan departed.
Mayor Cr Karen Stephens said the council was still working towards appointing a new permanent CEO.
These latest announcements follow yesterday’s news of the appointment of Mark Eversteyn as the new CEO of Moyne Shire.
