The Chief Executive Officer and The City of Glen Eira- the position and the future

The Chief Executive Officer [CEO] of Glen Eira, Mr. Andrew Newton's five year contract will finish in April 2010. Provisions under the Local Government Act states Council must vote and give notice to either re-appoint or advertise his position in the six months before this term ends.

The CEO is the most senior role in the administration and the only one that council has the responsibility to appoint.

I believe that this position should always be advertised at the end of each contracted term. This should help to deliver to the residents of Glen Eira the best possible CEO through an open and transparent process.This is what our community deserve.

Renewal and change are an important part of any organisation and The City of Glen Eira should be no exception.
