The Glenorchy City Council will discuss the recruitment of a new chief executive officer to continue delivering high quality service for the Glenorchy community and its ratepayers at its meeting next week.
Mayor Sue Hickey said current chief executive officer Tony McMullen recently advised Council he would not be seeking reappointment at the conclusion of his contract at the end of June.
“I would like to thank Mr McMullen for his exceptional service to the Council, council staff and the people of Glenorchy.
“Under his leadership, the council has achieved exceptional workplace culture recognition, supporting a workforce to provide services and strategies for the Glenorchy community.
“Mr McMullen was a crucial stabilising force when council was placed into administration in 2017, and he was appointed permanently into the role following that period in 2018.
“Having first joined Glenorchy City Council in 1994, Mr McMullen’s knowledge, experience as well as his kindness and understanding will be missed by all of us, and, on behalf of Council, I wish him the very best for the future.”
Mayor Hickey said Council would discuss an appointment process to ensure the role was filled by 30 June.
“We owe it our community to recruit the very best person to lead the council and its staff, and we will be making sure this begins as quickly as possible to ensure we examine all options through a rigorous recruitment process,” she said.
Mayor Hickey said Council would advise the public when the recruitment formally commenced.
