The Victorian Government has appointed three members to the Sustainability Victoria (SV) Board. The new members are Mr Ron Lovett and Mr Tony Hinton. An existing member, Ms Suzanne Evans, has been reappointed to the board.

 

"Now that the SV review has been considered and a new strategy developed that reshapes the organisation's focus, the new SV board will be working to deliver on this new vision for greater resource efficiency across Victoria," said board Chair, Dr Gillian Sparkes.

 

"With several board positions lapsing in April this year, it was important to ensure appointments to these positions could achieve a balance between board continuity and renewal."

 

The three appointed members replace outgoing members Ms Carolyn Lloyd, Dr Tony Marxsen, Ms Tanya Ha and Dr Nicholas Gruen.  Dr Sparkes, Mr Mike Hill, Mr Ross McCann and Ms Cheryl Batagol will continue as board members until July 2014.

 

The Sustainability Victoria Board is: Dr Gillian Sparkes, Chair (PhD, MBA, GAICD) ; Mike Hill, Deputy Chair; Cheryl Batagol, Chair of the Victorian Environment Protection Authority (EPA) and is a member of the Victorian Catchment Management Council; Suzanne Evans; Ross McCann, Executive Chairman of Qenos and President of the Plastics and Chemicals Industry Association; Ron Lovett, Executive Manager - Business Strategy and Management of Abigroup; and Tony Hinton, consultant in economic policy and public policy issues.
