Sunshine Coast Council has announced a new Executive Leadership Team following an extensive national and international recruitment process that attracted more than 500 applicants from across Australia and New Zealand.
Sunshine Coast Council CEO John Baker said the appointments marked an important step in positioning the organisation for the future.
"We undertook a comprehensive and competitive selection process to ensure we appointed high-calibre leaders with the right experience, values and vision to help deliver on Council's priorities," Mr Baker said.
"As part of this transformation, we have streamlined our organisational structure, reducing the number of departments from six to five.
"This change brings greater efficiency and a sharper focus on the areas our community has told us matter most."
The four new Directors will join Mr Baker and Chief Financial Officer Keith Parsons on the Executive Team from 28 July 2025.
Debra Robinson - Director Sustainable Planning and Growth
An internal appointment, Debra brings over 30 years' experience in planning and development, with a deep understanding of the region and a strong reputation for cross-Council collaboration.
