Keith Andrew Fagg (born 30 September 1955) is an Australian businessman who served as the 94th Mayor of Geelong.
Fagg serves as a director of long-established family-run business, Fagg's Mitre 10 in Geelong.[1] Samuel and William Fagg founded the firm in 1854, after migrating from Deal in England.[2]
Fagg was elected for a four-year term as Mayor of Geelong in the 2012 mayoral election, winning with a significant primary vote of 43%,[3] and was sworn in on 5 November 2012.[4]
This was the first time the office was selected by means of a direct election, following changes introduced by the Victorian Government in 2012.[5] Previous mayors of Geelong were elected by fellow members of the city council.
On 16 August 2013, Fagg announced his resignation from the position, citing unspecified health concerns.[6] It was later reported that Fagg had been suffering from stress.[7]
Prominent Geelong figure Frank Costa claimed that Fagg had been "bullied to the point of breakdown", however did not specify the source of the bullying.[8] Reports of an "entrenched culture of bullying" in the City of Greater Geelong council have since come to light.[9] Keith Fagg has stated that he agrees that a skilled investigator was needed to uncover the full extent of bullying within the council, rather than a mediator.[10]
Keith Fagg currently writes a regular opinion piece for the Geelong Advertiser.
