McIntosh reappointed for two years

Southland District Council chief executive Cameron McIntosh has been reappointed for a further two years.

Mayor Rob Scott said he was pleased to announce the extension following the chief executive’s recent performance appraisal.

“We’re very happy with Cameron’s performance,” he said.

“He has steered the Southland District Council ship through some stormy waters since he was appointed in November 2020 and we look forward to continuing to work with Cameron as we serve the many communities in Southland.”

Under the Local Government Act, a chief executive is appointed for a term of not more than five years.

Before the term expires, the local authority can decide to reappoint the chief executive for a term of two more years before the position has to be re-advertised.
