HOBSONS Bay chief executive Bill Jaboor will leave his post next month to take the top job at Brimbank Council.
Mr Jaboor, who said the time was right for new challenges, started working at Hobsons Bay in 2004 following 10 years as chief executive of Greater Shepparton.
He announced last Friday that his final day at Hobsons Bay would be October 26, the day before the council election.
Mr Jaboor said it was a difficult decision to move on after almost nine years in Hobsons Bay.
“I will leave here with many fond memories and immense personal and professional pride in the achievements of the council during my time here,” he said.
“I’m proud to leave behind a financially sustainable organisation, with little or no debt, that consistently delivers a robust capital works program year in, year out.
“Brimbank is a large and diverse multicultural community,” Mr Jaboor said. “I welcome the opportunities this position will present, including the transition back to elected councillors in 2015.”
Brimbank Council was sacked in 2009 in response to a damning report by Victorian Ombudsman George Brouwer.
Mr Jaboor will replace acting chief executive Kelly Grigsby.
