New direction

Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford has welcomed the appointment of a new chairman and two directors to Grampians Central West Waste and Resource Recovery Group board.

Yarriambiack Shire councillor Corinne Heintz and Cr Belinda Coates from Ballarat are directors, and Hepburn Mayor Sebastian Klein is the new chairman.

Northern Grampians Shire councillor Kevin Erwin is again a director.

Ms Pulford said local government waste-forum attendees nominated directors to ensure the board had the required leadership, skills and experience to operate effectively.

“I welcome these appointments and congratulate everyone involved,” she said.
