Staff, members and stakeholders of Southern Queensland Landscapes met in Warwick on 1 December for the business’ Annual General Meeting.
SQ Landscapes’ Company Secretary Pam Murphy said the first order of business was announcing results of the recent board election.
“Voting was held in October for two board directors; one in the east of the region and the other in the west,” Pam Murphy said.
“In the east Director Gina Mace did not seek re-election and we saw four nominations for the role from Anthony McWaters, Shelley Holland, Ken Murphy and Pippa Jones; with Pippa Jones successfully voted in,” Ms Murphy said.
“Meanwhile in the west Director Ann Noon was challenged by Louise Winten; with Louise Winten successfully elected to the position of Director,” she said.
“We look forward to working with both Pippa and Louise in their new roles as Directors and enthusiastically anticipate the many talents both will bring to the role.”
The role of Board Chair was unchallenged, returning The Hon. Bruce Scott AM to the position.
“The company also ran a special resolution seeking a decision on the proposal to remove the Chair’s casting vote; the result of the proposal was accepted and the casting vote clause will now be removed from the constitution,” Pam Murphy said.
“Those attending also enjoyed a very informative presentation from Project Delivery Officer Lachlan Marshall from the Vertebrate Pest & Wildlife Management team looking into new income streams for the commercial arm of the business,” Ms Murphy said.
“Media, Marketing & Communication Lead Kellie Stewart also presented a snapshot of the Conservation Detector Dog unit and discussed arising opportunities for the team including koala detection work, bat monitoring on wind farms and the potential for early detection of pests for transport companies,” she said.
“The 2021/22 Annual Report was also released and will be available on the company website for members and stakeholders to read.”
