Benalla Rural City Council Chief Executive Officer, Dom Testoni, has announced his decision to step down from the position to take up the role of Director of Assets and Operations at Macedon Ranges Shire Council.
Mr Testoni expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve the Benalla community, reflecting on his time with the Council and the support of staff, Councillors and community members.
