Nevins appointed CEO at Macedon Ranges
Macedon Ranges Shire council appointed John Nevins as acting chief executive officer at Wednesday night's council meeting, following the abrupt resignation of former chief executive Margot Stork in September.
Mr Nevins served as chief executive at the City of Kingston for 15 years and brings a wealth of experience to the role.
He has held positions including director of city works and director of strategic management and support at City of Boroondara.
Mr Nevins will be focused on preparing for a new incoming council and leading the organisation through the ongoing challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.
The new council will work to appoint a new chief executive officer during the next six months.
"I am excited to get started and work in partnership with the new council and staff to make the shire an even better place to live, work and visit," Mr Nevins said.
