Waratah-Wynyard Council would like to sincerely thank General Manager Shane Crawford for seven years of strong leadership, after he announced his resignation to take up the position of General Manager, Burnie City Council yesterday.
Mayor Duniam says “Shane has been an outstanding General Manager. He is an accomplished respected leader who always focusses on the end goal. He has been visionary in his approach to strategic planning and has managed Council’s finances impeccably.”
Whilst the decision to leave was difficult, Shane believes Waratah-Wynyard will continue to prosper under new leadership.
“It has been an absolute pleasure to serve the Waratah-Wynyard community. This community has such a positive attitude, and you can see the collective pride. It’s just a great place, and I really enjoy the uniqueness of all of our communities.’
“Waratah-Wynyard Council is in a very positive position, with a healthy and bright outlook. We have a great team, and I am confident that everyone will continue to build on our momentum into the future.”
Shane will continue in his role at WWC until December, giving Council time to plan the recruitment process.
