The provisions relating to the appointment of a chief executive provided for in section 54 of the Local Government Reform Act 2014 were commenced with effect from 1 June 2014. The new arrangements are now effective in any instance where the process for the recruitment and appointment of a chief executive commenced on or after 1 June 2014. Recruitment/appointment processes commenced prior to that date continue to be governed by the previous legislation provisions.
