When contacted yesterday, Mr McIntyre confirmed he had left the council, but would not comment on the reasons, or how it had occurred.
''I am taking legal advice and I can't comment at this stage, because of the process I have to follow,'' he said.
Council chief executive Michael Ross, when contacted yesterday, would say only Mr McIntyre had finished with the council.
He also would not comment on how Mr McIntyre's employment had finished or why.
The council has advertised for a property officer - not to replace the property manager - to provide additional support in the property unit, Mr Ross said.
Last week, a meeting of the committee of the whole recommended the council set up a property advisory committee, with councillors and outside appointments to advise on property management.
Mr McIntyre joined the council in May 2008, after six years as property manager with the Wanganui District Council.
Since then, he has been involved in some major projects, including sorting legal issues and a local Bill to Parliament over the controversial 23-section Forrester Heights subdivision on Cape Wanbrow and developing the 108-section subdivision on Hospital Hill.
He played a major role in plans to rejuvenate the Oamaru Harbour and foreshore, including the Steampunk playground which is now a major attraction.
Other issues he resolved included transferring the Upper Waitaki hydro canal roads and the titles to Waitaki lakes camping reserves to the council.
The role was to manage the council's portfolio of property, from reserves - he arranged the donation of 190 roses to the Oamaru Gardens rose garden - to commercial properties owned in Oamaru's main street.
That included working with private developers who had now started work on the business park north of Oamaru.
