Councillor Natalie Willcocks has replaced Councillor Lisa Bradley as chair of the city’s governance committee.
Cr Bradley resigned from the role in November.
Cr Karen Murphy will be deputy chair of the same committee.
Cr Willcocks said she was honoured to be elected to the role in her first term after previously serving as deputy chair.
“We have already begun budget discussions for 2021/2022 and Councillor Murphy and I are looking forward to the opportunity to work collaboratively with the other councillors and council officers to deliver the budget.”
“The policy decisions this committee makes have long lasting impacts on the city’s future and are an important part of our duties in these roles.”
Cr Murphy said she was looking forward to working with councillors and staff in her new role.
The committee makes recommendations on strategy and policy relating to council’s corporate governance, finance, facilities and property, human resources, information technology and fleet.
It is one of four standing committees that meet regularly to make recommendations that are later presented to Ordinary Council Meetings for endorsement through formal council resolutions.
The next committee meetings are scheduled for February 16 and 17.
