Carl Cowie has been reappointed as Chief Executive Officer of Victoria’s Nillumbik Shire Council.
Councillors endorsed the recommendation of the CEO Employment Matters Advisory Committee to reappoint Mr Cowie for a second four-year term, which will commence on 1 October 2023.
Mr Cowie first joined Nillumbik as Chief Executive Officer in October 2018.
Prior to working at Nillumbik, Mr Cowie was CEO at Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.
He has overseen a significant capital works program which has notably included the redevelopment of the Diamond Valley Sports and Fitness Centre and the extension of the Diamond Creek Trail.
Council’s digital transformation program ensured the organisation was quickly able to pivot online from the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mayor, Ben Ramcharan congratulated Mr Cowie on his reappointment.
“On behalf of Councillors and staff, I would like to thank you for your leadership and support, your significant achievements so far on behalf of our community and look forward to our continued work in implementing the Council Plan,” he said.
