Following an unscheduled meeting of Council today, Aaron van Egmond has been suspended as CEO of Hobsons Bay Council effective immediately.
Councillors became aware of concerns about safety in the workplace and the CEO’s fulfilment of his duties more broadly. Councillors take these matters very seriously and have made this decision following thorough and careful consideration, pending further investigations.
Given the sensitivity of these matters for all concerned, Council can make no further comment at this time.
