Baw Baw Shire Council has announced a contract extension of Acting Chief Executive Officer, Sally Jones, until 30 June.
The matter was considered as a confidential item in the meeting agenda as prescribed by the Local Government Act 2020.
Mayor, Kate Wilson said she was pleased to announce Ms Jones’ (pictured) extension, while Chief Executive Officer, Tilla Buden, focuses on treatment and recovery following a breast cancer diagnosis.
“Council remains committed to supporting Tilla as she focuses on her health and I am confident we have made an interim appointment that will keep Council operations in good stead until she is able to commence the role,” said Mayor Wilson.
“Sally has hit the ground running since coming on board in early January and is proving her able support to Council in the delivery of our Council Plan and a strong focus on community service.
“Sally and Tilla are connecting and collaborating during this period, and providing the organisation with strong leadership and support,” Cr Wilson said.
“We can assure the community that Council will continue to deliver positive outcomes for our beautiful Baw Baw during this time.
“Sally has a wealth of experience in Local Government, and we look forward to working alongside her in the months ahead.”
