POSITION:

LOCATION :

Strathpine, Australia

Greg Chemello finds value and joy in dealing with organizations undergoing change and reform. The fundamental principles are the same in such situations, he says, but when he came to the role of CEO of Moreton Bay Regional Council, he saw three major challenges, and clearly, the council concluded that he would fit the bill.

These three challenges were planning and growth, governance reform, and what Greg refers to as “being a nice leader”, and he quickly set to work on these when he started in January 2020. The first, growth, was especially crucial given that Moreton Bay is one of Australia’s fastest-growing local council areas, with its population close to half a million and growing by 10,000 a year.

“We’re getting a lot of folks who want to live up here for the lifestyle,” Greg explains. “And when you deal with a community that’s growing that rapidly, it causes schisms. Some folks love growth and see the opportunities of it; others are concerned or even scared by it. So it’s a challenging environment. In my view, this council had not handled it particularly well. That’s a view shared by many in our communities as well as the development and planning professions.”
