New directors announced

Baw Baw Shire Council has appointed two new directors as part of its organisation restructure.
The new structure came into effect on Monday, August 3 and was designed to ensure the organisation was appropriately structured to meet current and future needs of the community.
The restructure saw a significant change to council's executive leadership team, reducing five directors to three, including infrastructure and environment services, customer and corporate services and community and planning services.
Nathan Kearsley was appointed customer and corporate service director and Jill Colson will be infrastructure and environment services director.
Recruitment for the community and planning services director remains ongoing.
Chief executive officer Tilla Buden said the appointments marked an important milestone for council.
"These appointments bring together exceptional leadership, deep expertise and a shared commitment to delivering meaningful outcomes for our people, partners and the communities we serve," Ms Buden said.
"Our new leadership team positions us to respond to emerging opportunities, strengthen collaboration across the organisation and continue delivering on our strategic vision."
Mr Kearsley joins council Latrobe City where he held the position of general manager organisational performance since October 2022.
Before his current role, Mr Kearsley spent six years at Mornington Peninsula Shire Council in manager level roles in areas including finance, property and commercial services. Before entering local government, he worked in investment banking in Asia.
Ms Colson was previously director environment, recreation and infrastructure at Bayside City Council.
Before joining Bayside, she was with Manningham Council for five years, overseeing people and culture, governance and risk, and before that at Yarra Ranges Council.
