Financial Review Panel

Following the resolutions of Council (14 October and 28 October 2024), Council voted to appoint one Councillor from each ward to the committee, and for the Mayor to appoint five community members to the Finance Review Panel, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Council appointed Cr Jason Cox (Ward 1), Cr Jemma Tribe (Ward 2) and Cr Karlee Dunn (Ward 3) to the committee.

Mayor Patricia White subsequently appointed Deputy Mayor Peter Wilkins and selected five residents to represent the community on the panel:

• Keith Brodie
• Stuart Coughlan
• Ian (Sandy) Foreman
• Peter Dun
• Mark Crowther.

The committee members were selected after being interviewed by the mayor. The mayor also considered their resumes, professional qualifications and undertook further consultation with community prior to appointing the successful candidates.

The individuals also submitted self-assessment statements declaring they are fit and proper applicants.
