“Mrs Green is a highly respected member of the community who has been Chair of SRCMA since its establishment in early 2004” said Minister Firth.
“She will continue her work with the catchment community in the strategic management of natural resources with the support of Board Members Michael Muston, John Kerin, Howard Charles, Kerry Pfieffer, Mandi Stevenson, Iris White and SRCMA staff.
“Their ongoing challenge, which will not always be easy, will be to continue to successfully deliver practical and permanent on ground changes to the way we manage our natural resources in partnership with the local community,” Minister Firth said.
Mrs Green has extensive Natural Resource Management and governance experience and knowledge. She has served the Eurobodalla community as a Councillor and Mayor and is trained in planning and development mediation.
“Mrs Green is a dedicated worker for a sustainable future through her skills and knowledge and involvement in many natural resource management advisory bodies, she has a passion for people, their place in the landscape and local community involvement in decision making,” said Minister Firth.
“I am delighted to have been reappointed as Chair of SRCMA. I’m looking forward to continuing SRCMA’s work with our community in addressing the many natural resource management challenges. We have to find ways to manage our natural resources in a sustainable way as we face the impacts of increasing population and climate change. Decision making needs to recognise the limits in the capacity of our land, native vegetation and fauna, water and our marine environments. We need them to continue to function and adapt to these pressures to provide the environmental services we all need like clean air, clean and sufficient water and healthy and productive soils,” said Mrs Green.
Mrs Green’s appointment is for three years.
