“Mark brings to Council a wealth of Local Government experience through his engineering qualifications and leadership skills acquired through years as a director and then as CEO at two metropolitan councils. The recruitment process was blessed with high calibre applicants for the position and were particularly drawn to Mark’s skills and character during our interviews. I am very confident Mark will form a strong bond with our Councillors, community and staff and we look forward to him embedding his expertise and management into our organisation”.
