obligations Legal Implications The CEO Performance Review Panel is a Sec 41 of Committee of Council under the Local Government Act 1999. This process needs to be undertaken appropriately to ensure the CEO is provided with a fair and consistent approach to performance reviews and that the process would stand up under scrutiny, as the tool and the outcomes of the review directly affect decisions made in relation to the CEO, his performance and remuneration discussions. Section 96 (Council to have a chief executive officer) and Section 99 (Role of chief executive officer) of the Local Government Act 1999.
