A THIRD administrator has been appointed to Brimbank City Council following the resignation of Peter Lewinsky.
Today, the Brimbank chairman of administrators John Watson welcomed John Tanner to the team alongside himself and Jane Nathan.
The Minister for Local Government Jeanette Powell announced Mr Tanner would join the Brimbank administrators.
Mr Tanner served as the Local Government Commissioner in the Shire of Delatite for three years in the mid-1990s.
He has also served in the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce, the state executive of the Australian Small Business Association and as state chairman of the Timber Industry Road Evaluation Study.
“Myself and fellow administrator Jane Nathan, as well as CEO Bill Jaboor and all executive and staff, are pleased to hear John will be joining us at Brimbank,” Mr Watson said.
“Together with John’s input and experience we are in an even stronger position to continue to build community capacity and deliver needed capital projects in preparation for the return of councillors in March 2015.
“Since the administration at the council began in 2009, community sentiment and satisfaction with Brimbank Council has increased and we have maintained an ongoing commitment to making a better Brimbank.
“We welcome John to the Brimbank community, a thriving and transforming city that is fast becoming the dynamic centre of the West.”
A starting date for Mr Tanner has not yet been announced.
