Jeff Stewart-Harris - Chair
Jeff is currently Chief Executive Officer of Isaac Regional Council after having served several organisations in the Greater Whitsunday region since 1999. He brings deep expertise in the infrastructure, planning, regional and economic development, community, port, airport, and transport sectors. Jeff is a strategic and expansive thinker and a courageous leader of people.
He is driven by the abiding beliefs that the regions are the powerhouse of our nation; and that all success is achieved through people. These beliefs power Jeff’s willingness to challenge thinking and the status quo to ensure that our regions and their communities have sustainable futures created from strong, enduring social and economic performance.
“People fundamentally operate at the level of feelings and emotions – they want to know that someone is thinking about their future wellbeing, jobs for their children and the region’s future prosperity. It’s our job to imagine and enable the futures that mean their trust in us is not misplaced.”
