Following <strong>Council</strong>’s organisational restructure, the Employee Services Section was restructured into<br />

restructure was the formation of two teams to work directly with nominated divisions within <strong>Council</strong> to<br />
provide internal HR consulting services.<br />

Provision of information sessions to support the organisation restructure.<br />
