“Stephanie and Paul were stand out candidates during the recruitment process.”
The Mayor said Ms Challen has “extensive executive leadership experience across government and strategic advisory.”
Mr Turner has an “exceptional corporate communications and community engagement skillset from his time in journalism through to Chief Communication Officer at RACQ, Chief of Staff and media advisor roles”.
“In accepting the roles, both Stephanie and Paul have clearly demonstrated an enthusiasm to join a high performing Council and make their mark in their respective departments for the Council and the broader community,” Mayor Flannery said.
Ms Challen said joining City of Moreton Bay was an exciting opportunity at a time of significant transformation and opportunity.
“Throughout my career I have been motivated by delivering outcomes that improve Communities,” she said.
“I look forward to building strong relationships across government, industry and the community and helping position City of Moreton Bay to maximise opportunities ahead, while continuing to deliver positive outcomes for the community.”
Mr Turner said: “To be able to steer the newly amalgamated functions of community engagement and corporate communications provides a unique opportunity to integrate all aspects of Council’s engagement into a single message.”
Both will be reporting to Council’s Chief Executive Officer Scott Waters and start on June 18 and 29 respectively.
