Whitsunday Regional Council CEO Kenn Donohoe has announced his resignation due to family circumstances.
Mr Donohoe said he had loved his short time in the Whitsunday region but needed to put his family first.
“Local government is in my blood and I was passionate about working with Mayor Andrew Willcox, Councillors and staff to lay the foundations for a positive economic future for the region.
"It has been my honour and privilege to serve the Whitsunday community,” he said.
Mr Donohoe was appointed to the CEO role in June 2019 and has led an organizational restructure of the organisation. He will remain in the role until late April.
