City of Wanneroo welcomes new CEO

Council voted unanimously in support of his appointment in August, following an extensive recruitment process to identify a strong, visionary and community focused leader to work with Council and Administration.

Mr Parker has more than 20 years of local government experience and has worked in disciplines including project management, customer service, records management, property administration, finance, strategy, technology and general management.

Mr Parker said he looked forward to working closely with Council and Administration to achieve the vision of the City’s fast growing and diverse resident and business communities.

“A high growth city with an incredibly diverse community and landscape presents exciting possibilities,” he said.

“Wanneroo is poised for great things, including making huge strides in commercial and industrial growth and shaping the region as a welcoming, inclusive, accessible and thriving place for everyone to live, work and explore. 

“Through agile planning, we will continue to adapt to provide for current and future generations. It’s a privilege to be part of the team behind that vision.”
