Retired public servant Tamara O'Shea will be appointed to run the Logan City Council, after several of its councillors were charged and automatically suspended.

Local Government Minister Stirling Hinchliffe announced on Thursday the council would be sacked and an administrator appointed, after suspended Logan mayor Luke Smith and seven councillors were charged over their involvement in the dismissal of the council's chief executive officer Sharon Kelsey.

Retired public servant Tamara O'Shea has been named administrator for Logan City Council after the council was sacked by Local Government Minister Stirling Hinchliffe.

As a result of laws passed 2018, the seven charged councillors were automatically suspended with pay.

That left four councillors remaining on the council - Darren Power, Lisa Bradley, Laurie Koranski and Jon Raven - not enough to form a quorum of seven councillors and hold a meeting.
