James Trail, CEO of the Shire of Coolgardie, has submitted his resignation, which was formally acknowledged at a Special Council Meeting on April 22.
Aaron Cook will continue as Acting CEO while the Council considers its position.
Shire President Malcolm Cullen said the outcome is a turning point and an opportunity to focus on the Shire’s recovery plan.
Mr Trail was suspended from his position in November while an independent investigation was conducted into allegations of workplace culture issues, according to ABC News.
