It is with sadness that Mayor Darrell Tiemens has accepted the resignation of Narrabri Shire Council General Manager Rob Williams.
Mr Williams will be leaving Narrabri Shire to take up the Chief Executive Officer position at Bundaberg Regional Council in Queensland.
In offering his resignation, Mr Williams extended his sincerest thanks to Council’s elected members for the opportunity to work at Narrabri Shire.
“It has been a great honour and privilege to serve the numerous and varied communities in this beautiful part of New South Wales and to work with an organisation of such outstanding skill and potential,” Mr Williams said.
“Everyone has been incredibly welcoming and generous to Viv and myself and we will treasure the memories that we have created during my tenure here.”
Mr Williams’ final day at Narrabri Shire Council will be Thursday, 15 August 2024.
Mayor Tiemens noted that the team surrounding the General Manager has flourished during Mr Williams’ tenure.
“I am very confident that our organisation and our management executive team will do all they can to steer the ship in the best direction possible alongside the elected team while we decide upon an interim replacement in the role,” he said.
Mr Williams wished everyone involved with the organisation, together with the communities of Narrabri Shire, all the very best for the future.
“This is a location of huge beauty and potential and my short time here has only reinforced my knowledge of the wealth of opportunity that will be realised with some strategic focus, genuine collaboration, and hard work in times to come.”
