Directors

I thank, once again, all Directors for their effort during the reporting period. The Board is continually improving in its governance of the company. The Centro Property case in the Federal Court has once again highlighted that Directors have to be aware of all matters affecting the company. That our Directors do this without remuneration is an indication of their commitment to our community.

During the past 12 months to 30 June 2012, there have been some changes to the Board. Michelle Robertson and SallyBrowndidnotseekre-electionatlastyear’sAnnualGeneralMeeting(Michelleforfamilyreasons,andSallyduetofurtherstudyandworkcommitmentsinMelbourne).DylanBerendsresignedduringtheyearduetoworkcommitments.

For year ending 30 June 2012
