Moreton Bay Regional Council will seek the views of former staff and some “external stakeholders” as part of a review into its operations launched this month.
The council voted to instigate a review a day after the revelation of claims made by five ex-managers that the council had targeted staff that raised issues about governance or efficiency within a “toxic” culture of bullying and reprisal.
The review work has been assigned to Grassroots Connections, a consultancy run by Greg Hoffman, a former colleague of mayor Allan Sutherland’s from the Local Government Association of Queensland.
