Chief steps down

Ms Ewer decided to resign for family reasons.

Berrigan Shire Council mayor Julia Cornwell McKean said the council is acting swiftly to appoint an interim chief executive officer to ensure continuity and stability.

“We’ll be sure to keep the community informed throughout this transition,” Cr Cornwell McKean added.

The council will hold another extraordinary meeting on Monday, July 7 to discuss the appointment of an interim chief executive.

The recruitment process for a permanent replacement will also begin without delay.
