IT HAS been revealed that the two new deputy general manager's at Wingecarribee Council will earn $200,000 including about $20,000 in extras.
The council is undergoing a restructuring at the top with the three existing directors, believed to be on about $150,000 a year, being replaced by the two deputy general managers.
Infrastructure Services director Michael Brearly has already left the council, while the futures of Corporate Services director Barry Paull and Environment and Planning director Scott Lee remain in doubt.
Both have had their contracts recently renewed and if they were made redundant as a result of the restructure they would receive a significant payout.
Mr Paull and Mr Lee have been invited to apply for the new positions, but their existing positions will be made defunct.
General manager Jason Gordon has said the restructure would save the council $150,000 a year.
The council has hired consultancy firm Blackadder Associates to search for candidates for the new roles, which were to be advisers to the general manager as well as managing and leading a Division: Operations and Corporate and Strategy.
The operations manager covered Engineering Services, Environmental Assessment and Regulatory Services, Business Units.
Corporate and Strategy manager covered Information Technology, Customer Services, Libraries, Environment and Sustainability, Strategic Development and Community Services, Tourism and Economic Development, Financial Services, Organisational Performance, Assets, Governance, Legal and Administration.
The deputy general managers could also rotate their roles over time.
A short list of candidates will be selected soon and are interviews expected to take place on February 10 and 17.
