Townsite Liaison Group appointed

Membership of the new Townsite Liaison Group (TLG), which will represent the views of Gidgegannup residents in relation to the development of the Gidgegannup townsite, has now been finalised.

In January 2009, nominations were sought from the local community and the response was extremely positive.

The members of the newly formed TLG include:

  • John Kinsella Sport and recreation representative

  • Auggie Vallelonga Land owner representative

  • Theodore Lawrence Ecotourism representative

  • Murray Swain Seniors representative

  • Janette Huston Environmental representative

  • Sally Block GPA representative

  • Zach Cole Youth representative

  • Gloria Metcalf Agriculture representative

  • William Karoll Environmental representative

  • Geoffrey Knights Agriculture representative

  • Alan Edge Small business representative

  • Jeff Strahan Port Bouvard Ltd

Mr Jeff Strahan, Development Manager Port Bouvard Ltd stated that the task of choosing the committee members had been difficult due to the high response rate.

“Ultimately we were seeking committee members that represented various local groups and interests,” Mr Strahan said.

The final members of the TLG have been active participants in the consultation process to date and were also members of a broad cross section of the community and this is ideal when considering the ongoing development of the town over the next 10-15 years.”

Mr Strahan wished to thank all nominees for their interest in the TLG and hoped that they would participate in the forthcoming community workshops.
