Gold Coast’s top bureaucrat, Tim Baker, has quit after just five years — two short of his contract — citing family reasons, despite leading major city projects like Invest Gold Coast and a waste-to-energy plant. His departure comes amid controversy over pricey overseas trips, including a $54K UK jaunt and undisclosed $46K in staff travel. While some councillors defended him as a capable, honest leader who built key departments and sports infrastructure, others criticized his spending. An independent review of senior roles — already underway — will continue regardless. Baker will step aside after July 28’s council meeting, with an acting CEO to follow. Contract details remain private.
