North Sydney Council’s general manager quits

GENERAL manager Warwick Winn has handed in his resignation to North Sydney Council after a turbulent two years in the top spot.

• Council fights forced merger with neighbours
• Minister ‘profoundly disappointed’ with Council’s behaviour
• Executives in line for extra leave
• Council threatened with suspension

NORTH Sydney Council’s general manager Warwick Winn has resigned.

Mr Winn offered his resignation to Mayor Jilly Gibson this morning and is set to join a council in Victoria.

He is expected to finish at North Sydney in early April after two years in the role.

Mr Winn has held the top spot at the council during a turbulent time that has seen a series of interventions by the State Government.

It has been threatened with suspension and a public inquiry was recently announced to look into allegations of “conflict” and “dysfunction”.

The council is currently facing amalgamation with its neighbours under State Government plans to overhaul local government.

Mr Winn has worked on plans to rejuvenate the area with projects at several sites including the North Sydney Oval and Olympic Pool.

Mr Winn has been appointed the chief executive officer of Manningham Council.
