Ali Wastie took on the role of CEO at the City of Greater Geelong in August of 2023 after a period of turmoil at the council that saw the appointment of municipal monitors; questions about the process to recruit a new CEO raised by MPs in Parliament; and concerns raised publicly about the Council’s financial sustainability.

Ali joins Chris Eddy on Roundup Unfiltered to talk about her approach to meeting the challenges at Victoria’s largest provincial city with one of the biggest workforces in the sector.
