1. CEO Contract of Employment Report ⇨
After signing the CEO contract, Mayor Harding announced Sonia Cooper as Council’s new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and provided the following commentary:
Sonia first came to Council as the General Manager of Corporate Services in February last year.
Sonia brought a wealth of government experience to Council having previously been the Deputy Commissioner with the Public Service Commission. A position she held since April 2013.
Despite doing an excellent job as Acting CEO since April this year, Council knew it needed to undertake a thorough and far-reaching search for its next CEO to ensure we secured the right candidate for the role.
Eighty-four candidates put their hands up for the position, with applications coming from across Queensland and Australia.
Through the formal application process, interviews, psychometric testing and extensive background checks, Sonia has emerged as the standout candidate.
Sonia, we thank you for your service as Acting CEO and your patience over the past months as we did our due diligence.
On behalf of Council and our entire organisation, congratulations on your well-deserved appointment to the role of CEO.
