At tonight’s meeting, Council appointed Mr Bruce Lucas, General Manager Infrastructure, as the Interim CEO from 2 June 2018, following the departure of Mr Aaron van Egmond.

Mayor Cr John Cottrell said, “Bruce is a highly valued and competent member of Council’s leadership team, who has the skills and knowledge to lead the organisation through to the appointment of a new CEO.”

Mr Lucas said he was looking forward to the challenges that the role presented.

“I look forward to working with the Mayor, Councillors and all our staff, to keep the organisation moving forward until the new CEO commences.

“It is nice to have the ‘vote of confidence’ from Councillors and many messages of support from across the organisation,” said Mr Lucas.

Current CEO, Aaron van Egmond, said, “Bruce is a strong leader and has extensive experience with major projects and stakeholder management. I have every confidence in his ability to perform this role.”

Working in conjunction with local designers and the Project Reference Group, a Masterplan has been developed that will guide the future development of Hammon park. Initial stages of development will focus on the pump track and parking, but as further funding becomes available other features of the plan will be implemented.
