Chloe Munro AO FTSE (died 22 June 2021) was a former senior public servant in the State Government of Victoria and an Australian energy expert.
Munro has also had significant public service roles including with the National Water Commission, AquaSure— the consortium building Victoria's desalination plant; Hydro Tasmania; as Secretary of the Victorian Government's Department of Primary Industries; and as Secretary of the Victorian Government's Department of National Resources and Environment (DNRE).
O’Keeffe's leadership of Land Victoria was raised in the Victorian Parliament by Opposition environment spokesman Victor Perton on 17 April 2002 for her leading role in the EAGF scandal.
Specifically, Perton reported that Land Victoria and the Department of Justice (DoJ) had "conspired to invent a 'survey reform' project to extract $7.5 million from the fund.
The Auditor-General had prevented an earlier attempt by O’Keeffe-led Land Victoria and the Department of Justice to “raid the EAGF of $45 million".
Further, Perton reported that the Surveyor General had initially raised his concerns of the proposal to obtain funds from EAGF on 7 March 2001.

[10][11] Munro was appointed an Officer (AO) in the General Division of the Order of Australia in January 2018 for "distinguished service to public administration through leadership roles in the area of renewable energy, water and climate change process and reform, and to the performing arts'.
