The Western Bay of Plenty District Council has appointed Mr Kumaren Perumal as Chief Financial Officer.
His appointment follows the departure of the organisation's long serving Chief Financial Officer, Matt Potton, in June.
Mr Perumal, a CA qualified accountant, has extensive experience in financial management and a strong audit background.
His previous roles include Finance Manager at Waipa District Council, and Audit and Information Systems Manager at Audit New Zealand.
Council chief executive Miriam Taris said Mr Perumal's strong commercial skills and understanding of local government would be fundamental to taking the organisation forward at a time when the Western Bay was experiencing significant growth.
"Council's management team is looking forward to having Kumaren on board and working with him to ensure the organisation continues to respond to the needs of growing communities efficiently and effectively."
Mr Perumal will take up his new position in early October.
