Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport Jessica Stojkovski has acknowledged outgoing Chair of the Freight and Logistics Council of WA (FLCWA) Board, Megan McCracken, for her significant contribution in the role over the past five years.
Ms McCracken has served in the position since June 2021, leading the FLCWA's work in providing direct freight and logistics advice to the State Government.
Achievements during her term have included refreshing the purpose and strategic direction of the FLCWA and prioritising and improving stakeholder and member engagement across all freight transport modes.
Under her leadership the FLCWA provided COVID-19 pandemic support through the opening of pop-up vaccination clinics at transport hubs across Perth, recommendations on strengthening the resilience of the east-west freight system, and work to refresh the State's regional freight strategy.
The FLCWA was established in March 2009 and meets bi-monthly to discuss and progress issues of strategic importance to the State's freight and logistics sector and activities.
Ms McCracken's successor in the role of Chair will be appointed shortly.
As stated by Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport Jessica Stojkovski:
"I would like to thank Ms McCracken for the expertise and advice she has provided to our government as FLCWA Chair over the past five years.
"The efficient movement of freight is critical to the daily functioning of WA households, businesses and our economy and her endeavours have ensured we have a strong voice on industry on matters affecting the supply chain.
"I wish Ms McCracken the best for her future endeavours and look forward to the important work of the Council continuing into the future."
