Deputy takes over at Mosman Park

Paul Anderson aims to include the community.

The new chief executive at Mosman Park council says maintaining quality service, being proactive and making improvements for the benefit of the community are at the forefront of his new role.

Paul Anderson, who was the council's deputy CEO, was selected from a group of five last Wednesday at a special council meeting.

He said his promotion was a logical step forward in his career and he would continue to maintain Mosman Park as a leading example of a competent and well run authority in the western suburbs.

"It's important to maintain the quality of service that the community has come to expect, to make improvements for the benefit of the community, including the level of customer service, council infrastructure, examining where improvements are required and continuing to investigate ways for the community to participate in council events like Ampfest," he said.

"Trevor Harken, the last CEO, made sure things happened and I'll look at being more proactive, especially with the library project and items the community can participate in."

Mr Anderson has been at Mosman Park for nine years and said he had qualities, including integrity, honesty and a good rapport with the local community, which he believed helped him secure the position.

His salary package of $146,745 includes $115,000 cash, $13,800 in superannuation, a Ford Fairmont valued at $16,445, $1200 for a phone and $300 in professional subscriptions.

Mr Anderson said one of the most significant issues for Mosman Park would be the new library shared with Cottesloe and Peppermint Grove..

"This is a significant expenditure council has embarked upon and we will continue to progress with this venture, as it is a most significant item," he said.
