STDC Chief takes up role with PNCC

South Taranaki District Council (STDC) chief executive Waid Crockett has announced he is taking up a new role as chief executive of Palmerston North City Council (PNCC).

Crockett is due to start his new role on 7 November.

South Taranaki Mayor, Phil Nixon says it will be very sad to see Waid go, but it’s a real credit to him and his achievements that he’s been able to secure the chief executive position at PNCC.

“I can’t speak highly enough of Waid and the contribution he’s made during his (almost) five years at STDC. He’s a highly effective and respected local government chief executive and he leaves the Council in excellent heart,” says Mayor Nixon.

“There’s a lot going on in South Taranaki at the moment and many exciting initiatives underway, so the Council will take its time to conduct a rigorous recruitment process to ensure we get just the right person for our district.”
