Bass Coast Shire Council appoints three experienced General Managers as interim CEOs in a rotational system after Ali Wastie's resignation.
Bass Coast Shire Council has appointed three senior leaders to share the role of interim Chief Executive Officer until a new permanent replacement is chosen following the resignation of Ali Wastie. Ms Wastie, who resigned last month to take up the position of Chief Executive Officer at the City of Greater Geelong, finishes at Bass Coast on 28 July. A recruitment agency will soon begin a formal process to determine a short list for her replacement before the end of the year.
