Michael Tudball will take over the head spot at the Borough of Queenscliffe after the current chief executive was voted out by council.
Mr Tudball was appointed to the acting chief executive position during a special meeting on 17 November, following council’s decision on 10 November to finalise Martin Gill’s contract early.
Mayor Di Rule said she looked forward to welcoming Mr Tudball into the role for a minimum of three months from 1 December.
“Council is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Tudball to the Borough of Queenscliffe in an interim capacity until a new chief executive officer is formally appointed,” she said.
“Following a selection process conducted by council’s CEO Recruitment Advisory Committee, we are confident that Michael is exceptionally qualified for this role.
“With a strong professional reputation and proven expertise, he possesses the experience and commitment required to guide the borough effectively through this transitional period.”
Mr Gill will finish in the chief executive role on 28 November after being with council for six years, ahead of his initial contract end date of October next year.
“I am excited by the opportunity to bring fresh energy and ideas to the management and culture of our council,” Mayor Rule said.
“On behalf of all the councillors and the community of Queencliffe, I thank Mr Gill for his efforts and wish him and his family all the best for the future.”
