Ian Webb, Community Engagement Ranger, Fraser Island
First let me recognise the great ground work that Alana and Lou put into this position. If have not had the pleasure of meeting all of the FINIA members but it is already clear that the dedication by Alana and Lou to forge partnerships, support the FINIA values and promote and participate in the alternative endemic plant program has been well received and appreciated by FINIA members.
I have worked with the Department for 21 years in various Work Units including Asset Management, Natural Resource Management and General Duties. Born in Mooloolaba, I attended Mooloolaba Primary School, Nambour High School and Gatton College. Living all of my 66 years in this area has provided a great insight into how development and climate has impacted on the natural and cultural resources of this unique and beautiful area.
I hope to draw on these life experiences as a focus to appropriately fulfil the key requirements of this position. Unfortunately the term of my role ends on 17th March and I am uncertain what direction this role will take. My personal wish is that I remain a part of it.
