FRANKSTON Council CEO Phil Cantillon has had his tenure extended until 2026. Cantillon (pictured above) has been appointed for a further three years in the CEO role - his previous contract concluded on 15 September. He began in the role permanently in September 2019 after a short stint as acting CEO.

Frankston Council’s most recent annual report, 2021/2022, revealed that its highest paid member of key management received remuneration between $380,000 and $389,999. Total remuneration includes salary, paid leave, superannuation, and contribution for the private use of a vehicle if applicable.

Cantillon replaced Dennis Hovenden in the CEO role. Hovenden had been at council for seven years before resigning with just four months left to run on his contract.
