After a series of temporary appointments, the City of Parramatta Council has chosen a new chief executive.

Parramatta Council on Monday announced it had appointed the chief executive officer of Property NSW, Brett Newman, as its new head.

The council's mayor, Andrew Wilson, said he was confident that Mr Newman's extensive work history in the public and private sectors made him well-equipped to run the organisation.
