Murray River Council Mayor John Harvie said the council welcomes Ms Williams to the team.
“We are delighted to have Stacy join the Murray River Council team,” he said.
“She has a proven track record in delivering positive outcomes for communities, and we are confident she will bring strong leadership and innovation to our region.
“With over 19 years of experience in rural and regional local government, we believe Stacy will slot-in perfectly alongside our staff and councillors, whilst also offering fresh ideas and perspectives.”
Ms Williams is an Echuca-Moama local and brings a wealth of experience in local government and leadership with her.
Her most recent role was as director healthy communities and environments for City of Greater Bendigo.
She has also served as a director at Gannawarra Shire and in various roles at Campaspe Shire Council.
Outside of local government, Stacy is chair of the Echuca Regional Health Board and has held a board position since 2021.
With a strong background in statutory and corporate services, community development and emergency management, Ms Williams is well-positioned to help guide the council.
Cr Harvie also took the time to acknowledge the efforts of acting chief executive Sarah Ryan.
“I would also like to thank Sarah for the excellent job she is doing in the role of Acting Chief Executive Officer,” he said.
“Sarah is a well-respected leader in our community and her efforts acting in the role over the last few months have been exceptional.”
Ms Ryan will continue in the acting role until Ms Williams officially commences as CEO on Monday, April 14.
