Wollondilly Council has a new director for shire services, Peter Buckley, who may be new to the job, but he’s no stranger to the area having won the Young Achiever of the Year Wollondilly in 2003.
His appointment means he will be leading the newly established directorate.
There will be a key focus on excellence in operational service delivery including roads, parks and recreation, community services, waste and environment and capital project delivery.
Council CEO Ben Taylor said Mr Buckley joins the team as an experienced customer-focused leader of high performing organisations, and with a real passion for Wollondilly.
“Our focus is improving our assets and services to meet community expectations and enhancing all that is wonderful about Wollondilly, and I look forward to Peter bringing his experience together with his passion as a local resident to make a real difference for our community,” Mr Traylor said.
“He is joining us at a pivotal time for Wollondilly, as our Shire grows rapidly.’’
Most recently the general manager of Nepean Engineering and Innovation, Mr Buckley has also worked in various roles with MyPass Global, Peoplecare Health Limited, Programmed (Skilled Group).
“As a lifelong resident of the Wollondilly I am inspired by the vision to make Wollondilly Shire even better, together,’’ Mr Buckley said after his appointment.
“It will be an honour to lead a diverse team of great people and work together to deliver a high-quality service to the Wollondilly community.”
Council has now put in place a new organisational framework under CEO Ben Taylor to lead the organisation into the future.
There are three directorates in the new framework: customer and corporate services led by Ms Caroline Argent, shire futures led by Mr Martin Cooper and shire services led by Mr Peter Buckley.
