Retirement of Tasports CEO

Chief Executive Officer of Tasports, Paul Weedon has advised the Government of his intention to retire this September.

Mr Weedon has spent the last eight years steering TasPorts into consistent profit, putting the company on track to double in size by 2022-23.

Mr Weedon oversaw the modernisation of TasPorts entire fleet, and accelerated the successful integration of Tasmania’s four port companies into a single, high functioning state-wide company.

Most recently, Mr Weedon delivered a $200 million Port Master Plan which will help the Tasmanian Government deliver on our plan to boost the Tasmanian economy by supporting jobs and promoting business confidence.

On behalf of the Government I would like to thank Paul Weedon for his hard work and dedication to the role and I wish him all the best for the future.

A recruitment process will be undertaken for a new CEO. TasPorts Chief Operating Officer, Anthony Donald has been appointed as acting CEO.
