Update on Council’s recruitment of new CEO

Published on 22 June 2023

Councillors resolved to appoint McArthur Recruitment to lead the process to replace outgoing Council Chief Executive Officer Peter Bascomb at the June Ordinary Council Meeting in Bombala last week.

McArthur’s bid for this important task was selected by councillors above submissions from several other prominent recruitment agencies, concluding the competitive EOI process Council has undertaken.

McArthur Recruitment are one of Australia’s leading recruitment specialists, with decades of experience and expertise in filling senior vacancies within the public sector.

Councillors also determined the makeup of the interview panel at the meeting, with all councillors and a representative from McArthur to sit on the panel.

This is an important and consequential decision for Council, with the CEO responsible for overseeing and managing our organisation’s operations from top to bottom. We’re excited to share this next step in the process with the community, and are committed to keeping you up to date with all the developments.
