The City of Greater Geelong municipal monitors Prue Digby and Peter Dorling have recommended that the council can proceed with the search for a new Chief Executive Officer.
I have accepted this advice and the appointment process for the important position of council CEO will play a major role in restoring good governance to the City of Greater Geelong.
The monitors advised that the council had implemented the necessary improvements to its processes to ensure the recruitment can progress in accordance with the Local Government Act.
I appointed Ms Digby and Mr Dorling as municipal monitors on 24 January 2023 for a period of 12 months – they will provide advice to me and the council throughout their tenure and are required to provide a report at the end of their term.
The monitors will continue to oversee the CEO appointment process and other governance matters under the terms of their reference.
