Frankston City Council has appointed Tennille Bradley as its new Chief Executive Officer, making her the first woman to hold the position in the council’s history.

Ms Bradley will join from the City of Greater Geelong in mid-January 2026, bringing extensive experience in major project delivery and organisational transformation.

She has overseen significant city-shaping initiatives in Geelong, including the $449 million convention centre and central city revitalisation projects.

The appointment comes as Frankston undergoes major transformation, with unprecedented public and private investment reshaping the city.

Mayor Kris Bolam says Ms Bradley’s leadership will accelerate Frankston’s momentum as it transitions from a town to a thriving metropolitan city.
