Paul Bennett has been the General Manager of Tamworth Regional Council since 2010. He commenced his career in Local Government in 1987 and very quickly realised the incredibly important role a Council plays in building communities.

His passion for local government is backed by qualifications in Financial Administration (Accounting) and an MBA in Human Resource Management.
