Chief executive officer Kaylene Conrick last week announced the restructure and the four departments - Sustainable Development, Corporate Services, Community Development and Infrastructure and Asset Management.

Two positions, general manager Sustainable Development and general manager Corporate Services, were advertised on Saturday with the other two general managers' positions to be filled "temporarily'' for 12 months by existing staff.

There will be no redundancies and Ms Conrick said it was important to provide the "very best opportunities'' to existing staff members.

Ms Conrick said negotiations for the two positions to be filled by existing staff were still taking place at present with details available "in the next week or so''.

Recent resignations from the shire include former Tourism, Economic Development and Recreation manager Geoff Ryan and Infrastructure and Planning director Rod Conway.

"Much thought has gone into a model that suits council and community and key areas of focus are: liveability and sustainability; community wellbeing; corporate and governance; community engagement/community planning; and infrastructure and asset management,'' she said.

``The new structure eliminates one level of management allowing for a closer more dynamic structure to address the challenges and opportunities that council and the community will face over the next few years. The focus for the organisation is for the municipality to be liveable, productive and sustainable.''

A new model would be set up to promote tourism within the shire, which currently has no tourism manager or officer.

"Existing staff are doing a wonderful job managing the day-to-day operations of the Visitor Information Centres and other local tourism-related issues,'' Ms Conrick said.

Ms Conrick said she, mayor Bill McClenaghan and Destination Daylesford chairwoman Carol Hulst, recently met with Tourism Victoria to discuss its move to review and restructure regional campaign committees across Victoria.

"It is almost fortuitous that council and Destination Daylesford haven't already established our local arrangements because now we have an opportunity to better connect to Tourism Victoria, which in the end can only benefit our local tourism community,'' Ms Conrick said.
