The appointment follows the resignation of current CEO, Julie Salomon, announced in April and taking effect from Thursday, July 4.

Strathbogie Shire Council Administrator Peter Stephenson said the appointment followed a competitive process, with a number of former local government CEOs considered for the role.

“It was really important to find someone with the experience and skills to continue to support business continuity and build on the solid governance foundation, strategic focus and works program that is in place at Strathbogie,” he said.

“It is also critical to have someone who understands local government and their communities and can support the induction of the new councillors after the October elections as they recruit a new permanent CEO and set their strategic plans for their term.”

Mr Tamlin will be appointed for up to 12 months to ensure the continuity of business operations, to oversee the councillor induction program after the October elections and to support the newly elected councillors in the process to appoint a Chief Executive Officer in 2025.

Mr Tamlin said he was looking forward to joining Strathbogie at such a critical time.

“The next 12 months are incredibly important ones for Strathbogie, and it is a particularly exciting time to be joining the organisation,” he said.

““I look forward to learning more about the projects, the people behind them and the community of Strathbogie over the coming months and to working with the new council after the elections.”
