MELBOURNE CEO QUITS
■ City of Melbourne Chief Executive Officer Justin Hanney has resigned from his $534,000-per year position, just months after receiving a pay rise. Mr Hanney’s resignation comes whilst a four-month probe into donations he solicited for a yacht race continues. Mr Hanney solicited $35,855 in an online fundraiser via the Australian Sports Foundation to crew and equip a yacht to compete in the Sydney to Hobart race. City of Melbourne Councillors accepted Mr Hanney’s resignation late last week, and thanked him for his four years of dedicated leadership. Mr Hanney informed the Council that he will leave the organisation in late December, allowing for an orderly transition of leadership. The Council’s CEO Employment Matters Committee has been conducting a thorough review of the donation Mr Hanney received through theAustralian Sports Foundation. The Committee has not identified any decisions that have been influenced by the donation. The Committee has also recommended a need for greater clarity

and improvements to Council’s personal interest declaration process. “Mr Hanney should have declared the donation, something he acknowledged at the time it was brought to his attention and has since rectified,” a Council statement said. Mr Hanney became CEO of City of Melbourne in 2019. Lord Mayor Cr Sally Capp said: "I thank Justin Hanney for his service to the city. Justin is a dedicated champion of the municipality and has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of its residents and business owners." "Justin has transformed the culture at the City of Melbourne, strengthening its focus on performance and achievement, and this will be one of his legacies." Mr Hanney said: "I would like to thank the Lord Mayor and Councillors for the opportunity to lead this great organisation. "There are many things that I am proud of but in particular I acknowledge our collective response to the pandemic and giving Melburnians confidence through one of the greatest challenges we will see in our lifetime," Mr Hanney said in the media statement.
