North Burnett Regional Council CEO Craig Matheson has given notice that he will finish up in the job on November 27.<\/p>\n

Mr Matheson announced his intention to resign last week but said he wanted to give the NBRC time to recruit a replacement.<\/p>\n

Mayor Les Hotz said he considered the departure of Mr Matheson as “a great loss to our council and the region”.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe councillors and I all enjoy a strong, collaborative working relationship with Mr Matheson and we all wish him the very best for the future,” Mayor Hotz said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCraig has made a significant contribution to our council, supporting us to improve the performance of the organisation, address many legacy issues and challenges and providing much-needed strategic direction and corporate governance improvements that set the organisation on a stronger path for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Matheson was appointed interim CEO in July 2024 and was confirmed as permanent in September that year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
