TABLELANDS Regional Council (TRC) has recently appointed their new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) as Gary Rinehart moves from the temporary position, to a permanent one.
Mr Rinehart was in the intrim position for TRC CEO since March 22, providing his 20 years of local government experience and knowledge.
TRC Mayor Rod Marti has stated that he is pleased that Mr Rinehart will be joining the TRC team in a more permanent role.
"Prior to joining TRC he (Mr Rinehart) was CEO of four local governments where he established a reputation for providing strong governance and leadership, while delivering quality community infrastructure projects using best practice project management and effective stakeholder engagement,” Mayor Marti said.
“He is a focused leader with a strong background in driving organisations forward by continually improving operational efficiency and effectively managing change.
“This Council looks forward to working with the new CEO over the coming years as we continue to reshape the organisation and further build our relationship with the community.”
In an email adressed to TRC staff Mr Rinehart said he only came into the position for a few months while the recruitment for a permanent CEO was underway.
“I never intended to apply for the permanent position but I was so impressed with what the organisation, and the region, have to offer that I decided to throw my hat into the ring,” he said.
“Luckily for me the Councillors considered me a good fit for the job, and I am really looking forward to settling in and moving the family up here.
“I am very much looking forward to working with all of you over the next few years.”
