New organisational structure formally adopted

The following statement is attributable to City of Ballarat CEO Evan King:

The City of Ballarat’s new organisational structure has now been formally adopted. The adoption follows a rigorous process that involved a whole of organisation consultation and submission process.

A new directorate titled “Economy, Experience and Commonwealth Games” will group Ballarat’s economic development, visitor economy, arts, events, experiences and attractions together. This will enable the teams to more effectively work with one another to provide internal and external stakeholders with a focussed and coordinated point of contact as we continue to work with operators on reactivation, ongoing attraction and investment into Ballarat.

The structural realignment will deliver greater long-term benefits for our community and ensure the Commonwealth Games provides us with a lasting legacy.

Recruitment will now commence for a Director of Economy, Experience and Commonwealth Games.

The current organisational structure will remain in place until the commencement of the new director.

I am confident that the incorporation of this new directorate will deliver greater long-term benefits for all staff and equip us to be better prepared to respond to our community’s needs.
