Beloved and long-time member of staff Craig Smart has decided to enjoy retirement life, and was recently farewelled at a combined Retirement / Birthday morning tea.
Craig, a Design Engineer, has notched up 34 years of service with Crookwell Council and then Upper Lachlan Shire Council, with a further six years in local government with other Councils before that.
Director of Infrastructure Leon Kruger praised Craig for his friendly, unassuming demeanour and for his role in so much of the infrastructure that now exists in the Shire, including most of the sealed roads into Goulburn that were unsealed when he got here.
Other staff members and former staff members spoke of the impact Craig had, not just on Council but on the trainees and junior staff he has mentored along the way, and he was thanked and wished best luck by CEO Alex Waldron and Mayor Pam Kensit for his commitment and contribution to Council.
