MacKirdy, Victoria

Joined the Council in 2018.

I am proud to be appointed to the role of Chief Executive Officer for the City of Victor Harbor – the local government area that my family and I call home. Having worked in local government for more than 30 years, I continue to be inspired by the multi-disciplinary nature of Councils and the feats that can be achieved when such diversely skilled individuals and teams work in partnership towards a common goal.

I am accountable to the Council and the community for the implementation of all Council decisions, and for the overall management and leadership of the organisation. It is a privilege to lead a highly-skilled team of passionate professionals who continue to demonstrate a high level of commitment towards service delivery.

Collaborating with businesses, the community and government to achieve social, economic and environmental outcomes is one of my primary focuses, and this long-term approach is one that I believe can activate a real, constructive difference for people who live, work, visit and invest in our Council area.

Complementary to my role at Council, I am also the Chair of Regional Development Australia (RDA) Adelaide Hills, Fleurieu & Kangaroo Island, the Chair of the Zone Emergency Management Committee Adelaide Hills, Fleurieu & Kangaroo Island, a proud Member of SA Leaders for Gender Equity and a Board Director for Regional Arts Australia.
