Campaspe Shire Council has announced that it has agreed to an early separation with its Chief Executive Officer, Declan Moore.
Declan has guided Council to ensure compliance with the myriad requirements under the new Local Government Act (including the Council Plan, 10 Year Financial Plan, Asset Management Plan) and through COVID since his appointment, and most recently brought the ambitious 12 month Consultation Plan for local communities to review township facilities (including swimming pools) to Council for approval, before confirming that he would not be seeking a second employment contract next year.
Negotiating an earlier separation gives Council the opportunity to recruit and appoint a new CEO to oversee this significant undertaking and to assist Council implement the findings, together with the many other plans, activities and services that Council has on its program for the remainder of this term and into the next.
Quotes:
Mayor Weller would like to acknowledge Declan for his service to the Shire of Campaspe, his navigation of the challenges that came with COVID and his focus on delivering compliance in accordance with the new Local Government Act. We wish him all the best as he moves on to his next opportunity.
Declan thanked Council, staff and local communities for their tireless efforts in pursuing better community outcomes and improved services, but mostly for the opportunity to work with them. I have enjoyed my time with the Shire and wish everyone the very best both personally and professionally.
