GANNAWARRA Shire councillors are set to consider new procedures relating to the employment of the shire's chief executive officer in light of a report on the topic by state government agency, the Local Government Inspectorate.

At July's council meeting Councillor Sonia Wright moved a motion requiring shire staff to investigate how an independent committee could be formed to handle CEO employment, performance and pay issues, with reference to the report and to the practices of other councils.
