Smooth transition expected

The City of Tea Tree Gully is expecting a smooth transition when Ryan McMahon steps in as its new CEO on 3 September, following the retirement of current CEO John Moyle.

An experienced executive, Ryan has worked closely with the council’s current CEO since 2011 and has served as acting CEO on many occasions.

Deputy Mayor Lucas Jones says Ryan will build on John’s legacy.

“Ryan has a passion for fostering strong and resilient communities and will use his strategic thinking and financial management experience to progress our City,” he said.

Ryan says he’s excited by the opportunity to serve as CEO.

“I look forward to working with the Elected Members, Council staff and the community as we continue to provide first-class service and value for rates.

“I want to continue to expand on the unique qualities that make our City such a great place,” he said.

“It’s a privilege to follow on from such an experienced leader. John has brought stability and leadership to the City of Tea Tree Gully. He has overseen major projects that will have a lasting positive impact, such as the revitalisation of Modbury,” he said.

Deputy Mayor Jones also paid tribute to current CEO John Moyle.

“John is not only a person of integrity and experience, he’s passionate about our City, good governance and improving the workplace. We wish him all the best with his future plans.”

The decision in May 2022 to appoint Ryan followed a national recruitment process for the role.

The City of Tea Tree Gully is located in the north-eastern suburbs of Adelaide. It has a population of more than 100,000 people.
