New GM for Green Triangle forestry hubFriday 21 Apr 2023
Tony has more than 20 years’ experience in natural resources management, power and water policy and executive leadership. He was most recently Chief Executive Officer of the Limestone Coast Local Government Association responsible for a suite of priorities including performance, advocacy and the strategic development of regional tourism, sport, roads, and planning. This followed his role as Chief Executive Officer of the Victorian Water Industry Association and earlier senior leadership positions in Power and Water Corporation Northern Territory and Central Highlands water. Cameron MacDonald, Chair of the GTFIH welcomed the appointment “Tony is a well-respected leader and a resident of the region. He will bring a depth of strategic thinking, stakeholder networks and a strong record of delivery to the Hub.” “The GTFIH is an established network, with a remit from the Commonwealth to support the national objective of growing more plantation trees. These trees will be the resource that meets future fibre demand whilst making a significant contribution to help the climate change challenge.” Cameron said, “we are committed to growing more trees in the region, supporting a safe and productive workforce whilst making a positive contribution to community and being a responsible steward for future generations. Tony will be an asset to the GTFIH as we continue to implement our vision of a unified approach to growing the regional forestry and wood fibre industry.” About the Green Triangle forest industry The Green Triangle spans the border between Victoria and South Australia from the council areas of Colac Otway in the east, West Wimmera in the north and Robe in the west. It comprises 17 percent of the nation’s total plantation area, currently generating AU$1.5 billion in economic output, and directly employs 3000 local workers and indirectly supports the jobs of another 4000 across the region. About the Green Triangle Forest Industries Hub The Green Triangle Forest Industries Hub (GTFIH) was formed in 2018 by a strategic alliance of nine companies operating across the full breadth of the forestry and timber fibre processing supply chain in the unique and historic Green Triangle region. GTFIH, now with 13 general member organisations, and successful applicant of long-term Federal Government funding, has developed a Strategic Plan which reflects members commitment to a unifying purpose and vision, and which sets a focused pathway forward for the integrated industry for the next 30 years. | ||
