NWQROC appoints new Executive Officer
New Executive Officer, Josh Dyke will commence with NWQROC in August 2025.
The North West Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils (NWQROC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Joshua Dyke as its new Executive Officer, following a competitive search for the right candidate ready to lead the next chapter of the organisation.
NWQROC Chair, Cr Barry Hughes, Mayor of Etheridge Shire Council said Josh brings a valuable combination of local government experience, sound policy knowledge, and a genuine passion for regional and remote communities.
“Josh joins us from the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) where he has developed a strong relationship with rural and remote councils and an appreciation for the unique challenges and opportunities facing North West Queensland,” Cr Hughes said.
“His experience at the LGAQ plus over a decade of working in councils across Queensland has given him great insight into state-wide issues for local government and our communities, and we’re excited to see him bring that perspective and energy to our region.”
“This practical local government background, combined with his strong policy credentials, make him well-placed to lead NWQROC and continue the important work of standing up for North West Queensland.”
Mayor Hughes also acknowledged the significant contribution of outgoing Executive Officer, Greg Hoffman PSM, who has led NWQROC for the past seven years.
“Greg’s leadership has been instrumental in strengthening regional cooperation and securing meaningful outcomes for North West Queensland,” Cr Hughes said.
“He has played a key role in elevating NWQROC’s reputation and influence on the state and national stage, and we are sincerely grateful for his commitment and tireless service to our councils and communities.”
As NWQROC prepares for this leadership transition, Mayor Hughes said the organisation is well-positioned to continue its momentum and maintain its strong regional voice.
“We look forward to working with Josh as he steps into this important role and continues to drive strategic outcomes that benefit the North West.”
Josh is expected to commence in the role in August.
