City of Canterbury general manager James (Jim) Montague will replace John Beacroft as director on the board of Local Government Super.
Montague's 48 years of local government experience includes 31 years as general manager of one of NSW's largest councils — Canterbury.
He was awarded the Public Service Medal in the 2006 Queen's Birthday Honours.
"Jim brings to the Board an unrivalled track record of service in local government and I'm certain we will benefit from his extensive experience and his intimate knowledge of local government," chair of Local Government Super Bruce Miller said.
Miller thanked Beacroft for the contribution he made to the fund over the last five years.
A member body representing some prominent wealth managers is concerned super funds’ dominance is sidelining small companies in capital markets.
Earlier this month, several Australian superannuation funds fell victim to credential stuffing attacks, which saw a small number of members lose more than $500,000.
Small- to medium-sized funds have become collateral damage in an "imperfect" model for super industry levies, a financial institution has said.
Big business has joined the chorus of opposition against the proposed Division 296 tax.
