The Town of Port Hedland has appointed Dale Stewart as its permanent Chief Executive Officer after more than a year without one.
Mr Stewart brings over 40 years of local government experience and has previously led four councils as CEO.
The appointment is seen as crucial for stabilising the organisation and rebuilding confidence in the Town’s administration.
Mr Stewart will commence on May 11th, ahead of the incoming Council following March elections.
He joins from the Shire of Narrogin where he served as CEO for seven years.
