Mr Rob de Fegely, Chair of Sustainable Timber Tasmania, said, " Chief Executive Officer Steve Whiteley will retire at the conclusion of his current term, following more than 40 years of dedicated service to Sustainable Timber Tasmania and the broader forest industry." "During his tenure, Mr Whiteley has successfully guided the organisation through a period of significant transformation. His vision and commitment have been instrumental in positioning the organisation for long-term success. On behalf of the Board, I extend our sincere thanks for his outstanding contribution," said Mr de Fegely. To maintain continuity and strategic focus, the Board has appointed Mr Greg Hickey as Acting Chief Executive Officer, effective from 1 July 2025. Mr Hickey, currently Sustainable Timber Tasmania’s General Manager of Operations, brings extensive experience in Tasmania’s forest industry and is exceptionally well-placed to lead the organisation during this transition.
