Council Staff
Council employs an experienced and diverse team. The day to day running of the Shire is the responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer, who, along with Directors and staff, act on the Council's decisions by developing and putting into practice the Council policies and resolutions.
Philip Keirle has more than 10 years of experience working in executive roles in local government, including 6 years as Chief Executive Officer in North West Queensland (Cloncurry and Burke). Philip started at Cloncurry Shire Council in March 2021 and has strived to continually improve efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery across the organisation. He hopes, in his time with Cloncurry Shire Council, to address as many legacy issues as possible, to deliver balanced budgets, to ensure robust planning is in place for the renewal and upgrade of key assets (water, sewer, airports, saleyards), and to steward the delivery of priority projects and initiatives for the Shire and wider North West Queensland region. When Phil is not at work, he can be found walking, hiking and riding around Cloncurry with his family.
Gary Pemberton was appointed as Council’s Director of Corporate Services in June 2022. He has a background in Public Accounting (Local Government Audit) and has worked in various Local Government roles across Queensland and the Northern Territory. Gary is looking forward to contributing to the Cloncurry Shire Council. Gary and his much-loved dog Frank are excited to get out and explore Cloncurry, which is the biggest town they’ve lived in the last 6 years.
