Hindmarsh Shire New CEO Appointed

Published on 04 April 2024

Hindmarsh Shire Council is excited to announce the appointment of Monica Revell as the new Chief Executive Officer.

At the scheduled meeting on Wednesday 3 April 2024, Council selected Mrs Monica Revell as the new Chief Executive Officer following a competitive recruitment process, which included a large number of high-quality applications, and multiple rounds of interviews.

Mrs Revell will be well known to the local community, having worked for Council since February 2011 in many roles, including as Council’s Director Corporate and Community Services for seven years and Acting CEO for the past five and a half months. 

Mrs Revell has a strong understanding of the challenges faced by rural and regional communities, having lived in Dimboola for almost 25 years and growing up in Horsham.

Mrs Revell said “I am excited to accept this position and work closely with staff, the community, and Council to deliver the vision, strategic objectives, and advocacy priorities for Hindmarsh Shire.”

We are very fortunate to have a person of Monica’s experience to take our shire into the future, she already knows the business thoroughly.

Monica has an unbridled passion for her community, staff and local government and the services it provides. I know she will excel in key areas such as increased advocacy for financial and infrastructure projects, a desire to improve community satisfaction across all areas of local government and an open and approachable manner to everybody.

I look forward to Monica bringing her own stamp to our council and implementing new and exciting things for our communities. The shire is in good hands.

Mrs Revell will commence in the role on Monday 8 April 2024.
