Mr Gordon said Forestry Tasmania faced significant challenges to implement the Tasmanian Forests Agreement and adjust to its new operating environment.“The Board and I have come to a mutual agreement that now is an appropriate time for me to move on. I have been proud for the past six years to lead what I believe is an outstanding organisation through some very difficult times” said Mr Gordon. “However, I have reached agreement with the Board that now is the right time for a change My departure will allow the Board to select a long-term leader that can take the organisation forward into what I believe is a challenging but exciting future”. On behalf of the Forestry Tasmania Board, Bob Annells, Chairman, Forestry Tasmania acknowledged the tremendous contribution Bob had made to the organisation, and to the forest industry. "He has been a proud standard bearer through many difficult times, and has served the industry with absolute dedication”, he said.

The Board will initiate a comprehensive executive search for his replacement. In the interim, Chief Operating Officer Steve Whiteley will take on the role of acting CEO. |
