Chief Executive Officer Performance Review Committee - 3 Aug 2026 6:00PM

Topics

• Wanneroo capital projects finish year $3 million under combined budget
  Wanneroo reported $75.1 million in expenditure across its Top Capital Projects portfolio in 2025/26, about $3 million below the combined annual budget, while several major projects advanced.
  The result provides residents and contractors with an update on infrastructure delivery, project progress and capital spending.
• Wanneroo committee recommends Council consider higher CEO remuneration
  The CEO Performance Review Committee recommended Council endorse the 2025/26 annual performance review and consider increasing the CEO’s remuneration and professional development allowance.
  The committee’s recommendation could affect senior executive costs, but the extracted minutes do not state that an increase was finally approved.
• Capital works performance
  Top Capital Projects expenditure totalled $75.1 million against a combined annual budget of $78.1 million, a favourable variance of approximately $3 million.
  Residents can track how major capital works spending compared with the annual budget.

Decisions

• CEO annual performance review referred to Council
  The committee recommended that Council endorse the report prepared for the Chief Executive Officer’s 2025/26 annual performance review, subject to an absolute majority.
  This is a recommendation to Council rather than a final public decision on the review.
• Possible increase to CEO remuneration
  The committee recommended that Council consider increasing the CEO’s remuneration to the maximum allowed under the State Administrative Tribunal determination for band one local governments.
  Any remuneration change would affect the City’s senior executive employment costs; the minutes do not show that the increase was approved.
• Possible change to CEO professional development allowance
  The committee recommended that Council consider increasing the CEO’s professional development allowance to the same level as council members.
  Any change would affect the CEO’s employment benefits; the minutes do not state that the increase was approved.

Discussion

• Council Plan delivery
  The Quarter 4 corporate performance update reported that 87 of 94 Council Plan initiatives, or 92.6%, were on target, being monitored or completed.
  This indicates the reported level of progress against the Council Plan during the first year.
• Capital works performance
  Top Capital Projects expenditure totalled $75.1 million against a combined annual budget of $78.1 million, a favourable variance of approximately $3 million.
  Residents can track how major capital works spending compared with the annual budget.
• CEO annual performance review
  The committee’s CEO annual performance review matter was considered confidentially under section 5.23(2)(b) of the Local Government Act 1995 because it related to an individual’s personal affairs.
  The public resolution records the committee’s recommendations, while detailed performance-review information remained confidential.
