Mayor Clare McLaughlin has received notification from Whyalla Chief Executive Officer Chris Cowley that he has accepted the role of CEO with the City of Burnside in Adelaide.

Mayor McLaughlin expressed her disappointment over the news but said she accepted Mr Cowley’s explanation for the move and wished him all the best.

“Chris has done a wonderful job in his time as the CEO in Whyalla,” Mayor McLaughlin said.

“He came in at a critical time in the city’s history and has helped steer the city back into a solid position while playing a key role in laying the foundation for our exciting transformation.

“While we are disappointed to lose Chris, the direction of this Council and the city doesn’t change.

“The transformation of our city, the projects on the table and the vision to make this city even greater remains on track on the back of the fantastic work from all our Council officers and staff.”
