Organisation Structure


 Council

The scope of activities that a Council is involved in is large and often issues are highly technical or complex so the Council appoints a chief executive.

The chief executive appoints a range of skilled staff to carry out the activities the council undertakes on behalf of the community.

This is the organisational arm of local government.  

Through the chief executive they implement the decisions of Council, provide advice to Council on managing the activities of the organisation effectively and efficiently, plan and provide accurate reports of the financial and service performance of Council and employ and provide leadership.
