“I’m delighted,” says Warwick Winn, speaking to the appointment of new directors for Eurobodalla Council’s finance and infrastructure departments.

“Stephanie Speedy is our new finance and corporate services director, while Graham Attenborough will head up our infrastructure team,” Council’s general manager said.

“Both are leaders in their respective fields, passionate about customer service and good outcomes for the community, and have strong local ties – Steph has raised her family here, while Graham has owned and enjoyed a holiday home here for many years,” Mr Winn said.

Mr Winn said both roles were vital in delivering the finance-led, delivery-driven approach that will enable the organisation to face up to its fiscal challenges.

“Steph is a chartered accountant of 20 years’ experience in both private and public sectors.” he said.

“She’s been acting in this key leadership role for several months. With her strong background in change management and continuous improvement, top tier financial and management accounting experience across several continents, and over five years’ experience here at Council, she will be instrumental in bringing together a finance strategy that will see us living within our means,” Mr Winn said.

“In fact, she’s already hard at it.”

Infrastructure director Graham Attenborough will start with Council on Monday 31 July, relocating to Eurobodalla from Sydney. Mr Winn said he was heartened the organisation was attracting staff of Mr Attenborough’s calibre.

“Graham has a thirty-year career in the private sector and government, in Australia and overseas,” Mr Winn said.

“A civil engineer, his career has focused largely on water sector projects; managing operations and delivering infrastructure. Graham has worked for several state government entities, most recently as a chief operating officer with the NSW Department of Planning. He also has significant emergency management experience.”
