After years in executive roles at Southern Downs Regional Council, former acting CEO Jane Stroud has announced her sudden resignation in line with the organisation’s “new direction”.
Mrs Stroud was appointed as the council’s director of sustainable development in 2018, and in that time led her team through a range of strategic and community endeavours.
SDRC CEO Dave Burges said the former director and acting CEO originally applied for a contract renewal, but they eventually came to an agreement that “the region would benefit from fresh changes at the executive level”.
“Change is part of every organisation, and often new leadership brings new direction,” Mr Burges said.
SOUTHERN WATER ALLIANCE
Councillors will vote at Wednesday’s meeting on whether to join the new Southern Inland Queensland and Northern NSW Border Regional Water Alliance Limited.
Based on discussions at the group’s second meeting in February, it was decided the best way to achieve tangible long-term water security and infrastructure was to form a company limited by guarantee.
SDRC will this week vote on becoming a member of the company and appointing the Mayor as a director.
It is understood the alliance would not have budgetary implications until the 2021-22 financial year.
