The Palaszczuk Government has appointed former Deputy Mayor Maxine Brushe, mechanical engineer Aurelia Noran and academic Professor Poh-Ling Tan to the Gladstone Area Water Board.
Member for Gladstone Glenn Butcher said the appointees, with their mix of local knowledge, business experience and water management expertise, would further enhance GAWB's role to deliver safe, reliable and efficient water services to the Gladstone region.
"GAWB owns and operates Awoonga Dam on the Boyne River. Along with a network of delivery pipelines and water treatment plants, these are critical pieces of infrastructure helping to drive the region's economy,'' Mr Butcher said.
"Ms Brushe was a local councillor for 23 years and remains heavily involved in the Gladstone community.
Ms Nolan has more than 25 years' engineering experience and Professor Poh-Ling Tan is a national water reform leader.
Natural Resources Minister Dr Anthony Lynham congratulated the new board members on their appointments.
"I look forward to working with them to oversee GAWB's key role in the continued welfare of the community and industry,'' Dr Lynham said.
