Upper Lachlan Shire Council to discuss GM's employment contract

Mayor Pam Kensit has put a mayoral minute to a closed session of the meeting, related to Colleen Worthy's contract. It is dubbed confidential, as it relates to personnel matters under the NSW Local Government Act.

Ms Worthy was appointed as GM in January, 2020 on a five-year contract.

She was formerly community services general manager for Rockhampton Regional Council and worked in senior management roles at Gosford City Council. She also came with a background in the private sector.

Ms Worthy was not available for comment.

Councillors will also discuss a land acquisition for a new bridge over Curraweela Creek, north of Taralga, in closed session.

They show an operating surplus from all council activities of $10.321 million.

The report concluded that the council was in "a sound financial position to meet all provisions and liabilities."
