LG Services Group is pleased to congratulate Lachlan Shire Council on the appointment of Ian Greenham as its new General Manager.
This appointment follows a comprehensive national search undertaken by LG Services Group, led by Senior Executive Advisors Steven Pinnuck and Terrey Kiss. The process attracted a strong field of experienced local government professionals, reflecting the appeal of both the role and Lachlan Shire’s reputation as a progressive and community-focused council.
Through a rigorous recruitment process, the Council considered a number of outstanding candidates from across New South Wales and beyond. The final selection was made following interviews and detailed assessments that focused on leadership capability, strategic thinking, and a genuine commitment to regional communities.
Mayor John Medcalf OAM and Councillors were clear in their intent to find a leader who could continue building on the strong foundations established within the organisation, while guiding the Council through the next stage of growth and development.
Mr Greenham’s blend of technical expertise, collaborative leadership, and understanding of regional issues made him a strong choice for the role.

Lachlan Shire Council is excited to announce the appointment of Ian Greenham as its new General Manager following the resignation of Council’s highly respected General Manager Greg Tory.

Lachlan Shire Mayor, Councillor John Medcalf OAM said, while it was a highly competitive field, Council was delighted that Mr Greenham was determined as their preferred candidate at an Extraordinary Council meeting on 2 October 2025.
“We’re very pleased to have Mr Greenham joining us as General Manager,” said Mayor Medcalf.
“The depth of his knowledge, proven leadership skills and community-focused approach will be an asset to Lachlan Shire as we continue to grow and evolve, Cr Medcalf said”
With both Lachlan Shire and Orange City members of the Central West Joint Organisation Mr Greenham already has a deep understanding of issues in the region which positions him to take our Council forward, Cr Medcalf said.
“I am genuinely excited about the prospect of contributing to the continued success of Lachlan Shire Council and working closely with the team, the Councillors and the community to help shape a strong and sustainable future for our diverse Shire,” Mr Greenham said.
“Lachlan Shire Council has a strong reputation as punching above its weight and I look forward to building on that reputation, Mr Greenham said.”
