City of Whittlesea Council CEO to depart

City of Whittlesea Council is recruiting for a new Chief Executive Officer, following the decision of Craig Lloyd to depart the role to take up the position of CEO at City of Joondalup Council in Western Australia.

Mayor, Lawrie Cox acknowledged Mr Lloyd’s substantial contribution to the organisation and the broader community during his tenure.

“Since joining the City of Whittlesea in 2020, Craig has provided strong and considered leadership through many challenges and changes, including a period of Administration, the COVID-19 pandemic and the return of an elected Council,” he said.

“He has driven important organisational reforms that have strengthened the Council’s delivery of infrastructure, enhanced financial management, elevated customer service standards, deepened community engagement and advanced the use of technology.

“His commitment to good governance, organisational excellence, and positive community outcomes has positioned Council strongly for the future. He leaves behind a capable and resilient organisation.

“Council extends its sincere thanks to Mr Lloyd for his outstanding service to the City of Whittlesea. He has made a significant and lasting contribution during his time with us, and we wish him every success in the future.”

Mr Lloyd will be finishing with the City of Whittlesea in late May ahead of some pre-arranged leave.
