As a local government CEO, Carl Cowie keeps a low profile in the sector - preferring to focus his efforts on delivering for "the people who pay me."

VLGA Connect has secured a rare interview with Carl, who made the move from the private sector to local government originally as CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

He was recently signed up for a second term leading Nillumbik Shire Council, the green wedge shire on Melbourne's outskirts.

Hear Carl's thoughts on the financial sustainability of the sector, how we need to catch up with others on climate change response, and who are the mentors that have inspired his career development along the way.
