Benalla Auto Club’s committee says it was not informed about the sale of a major asset to the club’s former chief executive. According to multiple reports, the former CEO announced in June that the club had sold one of its biggest assets, an outcome the committee described as coming as a surprise. The accounts agree that the committee learned of the transaction only after the public announcement, rather than through internal club processes.
The reports focus on the discrepancy between the former CEO’s decision and the committee’s understanding of whether it had been consulted or notified. While the coverage characterises the committee as saying it had “no idea” about the sale at the time it occurred, it does not describe any specific details of the transaction in the provided summaries beyond it being a significant asset sale to the former CEO.
All outlets frame the issue as a governance and communication failure within the club, with the central point being that committee members say they were unaware of the sale until it was disclosed publicly in June.
