A new Chair and three new Directors have been appointed to the TasPorts Board, reinforcing strong governance as the Government Business delivers major infrastructure critical to Tasmania's economic future.
Minister for Infrastructure, Kerry Vincent, announced Tasmanian-based Greg McCann has been appointed Chair.
Mr McCann is joined by three new Non-Executive Directors: Evelyn Horton, Wayne Porritt and Zorana Bull.
"Together, these appointments deliver an outstanding mix of experience across infrastructure, finance, strategic governance and international leadership," Minister Vincent said.
"The Tasmanian Government is confident TasPorts is now well placed to deliver on its role as a key economic enabler for our State, supporting jobs, trade, and regional connectivity through a modern, resilient ports network.
"These appointments will ensure TasPorts continues to deliver services to Tasmanians at the lowest sustainable cost while also growing our economy and engaging with business and community in a constructive manner."
Mr McCann is a seasoned company director and financial consultant, with prior roles including Chair of NBN Tasmania and Director of the Tasmanian Development Board.
Ms Horton brings investment banking and economic policy experience, while Mr Porritt contributes global finance and commodities expertise. Ms Bull offers extensive infrastructure and engineering insight, with board experience across transport and logistics.
Minister Vincent said the new directors were appointed following a national search which attracted close to 200 high-calibre candidates.
"The level of interest reflects a strong belief in the purpose and potential of TasPorts, and in the important contribution it makes to Tasmania's economy," Minister Vincent said.
Incoming Chair Greg McCann said he was proud to be joining the organisation at a pivotal time.
"TasPorts plays a foundational role in ensuring Tasmania remains connected to national and international markets," Mr McCann said.
"I look forward to working with my fellow Board members and the broader organisation to support continued delivery, strengthen relationships with stakeholders, and help shape a positive future for the business and for the State."
The new appointments follow the December 2024 additions of Chris Leatt-Hayter, former Fremantle Ports CEO, and Jules Scarlett, a sustainability and governance leader.
Minister Vincent also acknowledged outgoing Director Amara Doyle, who concludes her term after nearly four years, including six months as Interim Chair.
"Amara has provided stability and strong leadership during a time of transition. I thank her for her service to TasPorts and Tasmania."
