Choosing the next CEO

Do the Councillors really know what they are doing ? Years ago Councils employed a qualified engineer because most of that rates went into roads, rubbish and real estate management . Fine .

State government too want Shires to do more of the things they were doing . How effective has been the transfer and what amazing person could manage all the new roles and ideas of "how best to do things "  .

So what qualifications should CEO of a shire have?

  After all , thinking you know is one thing , but having a track record of effective proven cultural  support for sound and efficient decision-making is another  .I hope Cnr's Crook Delahunty ,Woodcroft ,Hart ,Smith  and Buchanan think about that and tell us some essentials of what they think
Mr Small  will be remembered as one who , gave COT the reputation for one of the most unacceptable planning decisions in the State (Hill top house and illegal subdivision  near Red rock ) .Full documentation at here
Mr Small ,and his executive team, will also be remembered by us who have directly involved especially  , when he came back for a second go , not as one who made decisions, like supporting publicly  the house on the hill , but as one who increased the paper trail and helped close down the Otways to industry with reams and reams of Snow .   The only real test for  truly sustainable decisions is time;  and clearly many of our decsion makers won't be here to see the test of time.

  1. AS usual we were told nothing , Worse. Our Mayor is determined to tell us what we can say. And why don't we hear from our councillors since election . Nothing to do with becoming Mayor one day?
