Meryl Bishop

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I would like to recognise an individual who has made enormous contributions to our local community through her service to Georges River Council. Georges River Council's Director of Environment and Planning, Meryl Bishop, has recently taken up a new position with Randwick Council. I know that she will be sorely missed amongst both the Council staff and Councillors. I've had the pleasure of meeting Meryl on several occasions, and I can truly say that she has always acted with the upmost professionalism and dedication to the role. She is a public servant who is committed in every sense of the word. From the most instrumental planning changes to our community, right down to the smallest issues, her achievements are numerous and commendable. Meryl has had over 25 years of experience in planning and local government, helping to develop masterplans for community hubs that promote functionality, liveability and of‑course, aesthetics. I wish her all the very best in her new role at Randwick Council. I know that she will do an absolutely sensational job.
