The council’s chief executive, former police chief Simon Overland, was sacked in December after a long-running effort by councillors to oust him. He was the third chief executive in four years to be fired by the council.
In a statement posted to Facebook on Monday, Councillor Ricky Kirkham said the council’s inability to perform its key duties “made it impossible for me to discharge my obligations to hold council accountable”.Credit:“This situation has led me to determine that despite my best efforts, I can no longer in good conscience continue in this role,” he wrote.
Whittlesea mayor Emilia Lisa Sterjova sparked tensions between the local Greek and Macedonian communities after posting a photo on Facebook showing her holding a flag with the Vergina Sun symbol. She has since removed the post.He said it was a "privilege" to serve as a councillor, but said he was "unable to provide the level of representation and accountability" the public deserved.
Whittlesea council will be monitored over the next six months, with an interim report about councillor behaviour due on March 27.
