After seven and a half years as Chief Executive Officer of the Rural City of Murray Bridge, Michael Sedgman has announced he will step down.
The outgoing CEO will take up a new position within the City of Adelaide, with his last day set for the 12th of May.
Sedgman’s time in the Council saw him oversaw a variety of long-term community plans and developments, as well as two four-year strategic plans for the region.
Significant projects delivered on Michael’s watch included the Murray Bridge War Memorial, the Murray Bridge Regional Rowing Centre, the Sturt Reserve Masterplan Implementation and the Murray Bridge Swimming Centre Redevelopment.
In a media release, Sedgman says the time is right to step aside.
“I have greatly appreciated the challenges, opportunities and achievements provided through the course of my role with the Rural City of Murray Bridge,” Sedgman says.
“I also believe that with the induction of the newly elected Council complete, the development of the 2023-24 Annual Business Plan and Budget progressed and the Roadmap for the development of the next Strategic Plan set, now is the appropriate time for me to make way for the Council to initiate the recruitment for the Chief Executive Officer that will support the Council and lead the organisation in the delivery of our Community Plan vision of ‘Thriving Communities’ through the current council term and beyond.”
Rural City of Murray Bridge Mayor Wayne Thorley thanked the outgoing CEO for his service.
“I thank Michael for his contribution to Council and our community during his service over the past almost eight years and congratulate him on his appointment to his new role at the City of Adelaide,” Mayor Thorley said.
