The CEO of Waratah Wynyard Council in Tasmania is moving on. The Advocate reported that Vanessa Adams will retire for personal reasons in August
Ms Adams has served as the Council’s CEO since February 2025. Her arrival from Circular Head Council coincided with a title change, with the council dumping the General Manager title that was previously used for the organisation’s most senior officer.
Mayor Mary Duniam told the Advocate the council would be focussed on ensuring a stable transition, with an interim chief to be appointed until a new council can commence recruitment for a permanent replacement.
