Morris has worked at the council for the past 15 years and is also the chief financial officer and business support group manager.
“Among my proudest achievements were leading the establishment of both the Waipā Community Facilities Trust (Go Waipā) and the Cambridge Town Hall Community Trust,” Morris said.

“Both of these were innovative, new service delivery approaches to better maximise the use and potential of significant community assets,” he said.
“I also had the immense privilege of leading the project that saw the Canoe Racing NZ High Performance and Perry Community Water Sports Centre, home of Cambridge Yacht Club, built at Karāpiro Lake Domain and another high-performance sport established in the ‘Home of Champions’.”
Chief executive Steph O’Sullivan acknowledged Morris for his years of service to Waipā and the outcomes he contributed towards for the community.
“I’d like to wish Ken all the very best for his next chapter and new endeavours,” she said.
