The Shire of Gingin wishes to advise the community that at a Special Council Meeting held last night (Thursday 26 February 2026) Council resolved to commence a formal investigation into a matter involving Chief Executive Officer, Mr Scott Wildgoose.
Mr Wildgoose will be on leave while the investigation is undertaken, and interim governance arrangements are in place to ensure leadership and operations continue as normal.
Services to the community are not affected.
The investigation will be conducted in accordance with the Shire’s governance obligations and relevant legislative requirements.
The commencement of this process does not represent a finding of wrongdoing, and no conclusions have been reached.
To protect the integrity of the investigation and ensure procedural fairness, no further detail will be provided at this time. Once the investigation has been completed, an update will be provided to the community.
