The GEDC took to the podium in March to receive a gold award at the recent Institute of Public Administration Australia WA’s annual WS Lonnie Awards, for excellence and accountability in annual reporting.
The WA Lonnie Awards recognise the importance of transparent and independent annual reporting and the GEDC’s gold-winning annual report 2023-2024 was noted for its ‘strong community feel…and focus around clear, strategic goals and inspiring supporting stories’, in the ‘Agencies with less than 100 FTEs‘ category of the awards.
GEDC’s Director Regional Development, Rose Riley, attended the award ceremony in Perth to receive the award along with the GEDC’s Chief Financial Officer, Carolyn Gibbon, who was nominated for the Chief Financial Officer of the Year award, and representatives from the Pilbara and Great Southern Development Commissions, who also received silver and bronze awards this year.
