Christine brings her extensive experience in corporate governance and HR, while Steve’s food production and retail sector knowledge is a perfect fit,” said Mr Maras.

“These are three well-known and experienced local people who I know will make a strong contribution and I look forward to working closely with them.”

Lord Mayor Sandy Verschoor said the Board Selection Panel had chosen well.

“I’m sure the panel had a strong field of candidates to consider and I know that in Nicole, Christine and Steve, we have three highly-respected and talented people joining the board,” said the Lord Mayor.

“Along with Theo, they add real value to the leadership of the world-renowned Adelaide Central Market during such an important period.”
