Following the departure of Ms Liz Jack, I am pleased to announce that it is the Government’s intention to direct Ms Mary Massina to temporarily act as the Chief Executive Officer of the Macquarie Point Development Corporation.
Ms Massina comes highly qualified for the role, having previously been the Tasmanian Director of the Property Council, and most recently the Executive Chair of the Planning Reform Taskforce.
The Government’s reset of the Macquarie Point Development, based on the bold MONA vision, has been very well received in the community, and we are determined to build on the momentum by appointing Ms Massina to get on with the job of developing the new Plan immediately.
Ms Massina will act in the position for a period of six months, during which the Government will conduct an extensive nation-wide recruitment process for the important role.
She will take up her position on January 16, following the completion of her work with the Planning Reform Taskforce.
