Appointments of the current Chair, Mr Duncan Marshall, and Deputy Chair, Dr Dianne Firth and community representative, Pamela O’Neil, will continue until March 2015. The Chief Planning Executive of the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate, Dorte Ekelund, and Conservator of Flora and Fauna, Alan Traves, are ex-officio members of the council. The appointment of a representative of the Aboriginal community is being finalised.
