The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder has extended Acting CEO Mal Osborne’s contract through to late March, providing continuity while Chief Executive Andrew Brien remains on leave.
In a separate development, Mr Brien has confirmed he won’t be seeking a contract extension when his current term expires in March 2027.
Council says the early notice allows plenty of time for succession planning and a smooth leadership transition.
Mr Osborne, who brings extensive local government experience from across Western Australia, will continue in the acting role during the approved period.
