Final stages of search for new Ipswich City Council CEO

Published on 01 November 2021

The search for Ipswich City Council’s next Chief Executive Officer is reaching its final stages with a special meeting set for 8.30am, Tuesday 2 November to endorse the preferred candidate.

Following a three-week campaign with executive recruitment firm Davidson, Council received 84 applications from a high calibre pool of candidates from across Queensland and interstate.

A special meeting will now take place tomorrow for the endorsement of a preferred candidate by full Council.

The final three candidates will provide a short presentation to Council in closed session, followed by a question-and-answer session with all Councillors. The meeting can be viewed on Council’s YouTube channel here.

Pending a positive decision, the next stage of the process will involve entering into negotiations with the preferred candidate.

A final announcement is expected in the coming weeks.
