Horsham Rural City Council has appointed Craig Niemann as Interim Chief Executive Officer.

Mr Niemann will start on 30 September 2024 until such time as the newly elected Council appoints a CEO to replace Sunil Bhalla who resigned this month.

Mr Niemann is a former CEO at Greater Bendigo City Council.

“I look forward to bringing that experience to Horsham, and working with the Council, staff and the community,” Mr Niemann said.

Following confirmation of the appointment at the Council Meeting on Monday 16 September, Mayor Robyn Gulline welcomed Mr Niemann to the role.

“Craig is highly experienced and will be an asset to Council while he is here, and I thank him for filling in for us while we work towards a new appointment,” Cr Gulline said.
