Jonathan has an extensive background in local government, holding senior roles in human resources management before being appointed as CEO of Shire of Derby-West Kimberley and more recently as CEO of Shire of Mundaring, a position he held for 18 years.
"I was thrilled to be offered the opportunity to join the Town of East Fremantle as their new CEO. I sincerely thank Council for entrusting me with this responsibility," said Mr Throssell.
The Mayor and Councillors are confident Jonathan will be a great addition to the team and will continue to support Council and its staff to thrive as the number one Council in Perth, as recently determined by the MARKYT Community Scorecard.
"Jonathan is very well respected and committed to ensuring the best outcomes for our local community and I look forward to his commencement as the CEO of our Town," Mayor O'Neill explained.
Jonathan will commence on 18 September.
