Parramatta. New title for new GM

Parramatta City Council has resolved to rename the position of general manager to that of chief executive officer, within weeks of appointing Dr Robert Lang to head council’s administration. “I believe the appointment of Rob Lang as our senior leader presents an opportunity to present a more professional image of Parramatta City Council to ourselves and the community,” said Lord Mayor, Paul Barber. “I believe,” he said, “we need to start sending a strong message to business and the community that we are a modern professional organisation.” Dr Lang was formerly CEO, of the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority.
