The Mayor of Tasmania’s Central Coast Council, Jan Bonde will take a key role in driving the direction and performance of the regional Cradle Coast Authority.
Mayor Bonde has taken over from Circular Head Mayor Daryl Quilliam as the member councils’ chief representative at Cradle Coast, with Latrobe Mayor Peter Freshney replacing Mayor Bonde as deputy chief representative.
The Cradle Coast Authority is the regional voice for North West Tasmania, established by the nine Local Government Councils to represent and advocate the needs of the region. The representative group is made up of two members from each of the nine councils and is responsible for the authority’s strategic direction.
Mayor Bonde said councils had a responsibility to the community to have input into the authority’s direction and she was looking forward to working with the member councils to build a stronger and more vibrant region that supports the growth of the current and future community.
