| Cr Jim Fawcett (Mayor) | | Cr Fawcett joins Council with an impressive background in driving major community projects to fruition, such as the fundraising campaign for SPLASH, the regional Aquatic Centre.
Jim is a Certified Practicing Accountant and has run a successful practice in Leongatha for 24 years, is a director of South Gippsland Water, a former President and Life Governor of Gippsland Southern Health Services, and a Committee Member of the Leongatha RSL Sub- Branch.
Jim wants to bring a strategic focus and vision to his roles. On Council, Jim is keen to progress and finalise the Rural Strategy, and finetune Council’s decision making processes to expediently deliver meaningful outcomes that are fiscally responsible and of value to the community.
“Through consistent and transparent processes I want to provide more certainty in the planning that will give confidence to our urban and rural residents to develop business opportunities, or plan for succession and retirement. There is some work to be done to improve the morale of the community, Council staff and Councillors too.”
Born and educated in Leongatha, Jim is married to Joan and they have three adult children. After 13 years in Melbourne and Canberra, they returned to live in Leongatha in 1984.
