Ms Fiona Weigall
CEO, East Gippsland Shire Council
Following a successful career in management roles in Western Australia’s public sector, Fiona relocated to East Gippsland.
Joining East Gippsland Shire Council in 2011, Fiona initially held the role of Manager Economic Development and Major Projects. Since then, she has held a range of other managerial roles in council including strategic planning and capital projects.
In 2019, she was appointed General Manager Assets and Environment where she was responsible for an annual budget of more than $150 million, an asset portfolio valued at more than $1.2 billion and more than half of council’s workforce.
Fiona stepped into the role of Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in January 2024 and was appointed permanently as CEO on 8 April 2024. She is people-focused and has built strong relationships throughout the organisation and the East Gippsland community.
Her priorities will be on working with the council and the 600 people that work for the organisation to deliver outcomes for the community as detailed in the council plan. She will continue the strong focus on delivering council services and projects within budget and, of course, making sure the voice of East Gippsland is heard.
