A word from the Acting Chair of the Waste Authority

Mr Barry Carbon, AM, has officially retired from the position of Chairman of the Western
Australian Waste Authority.

Barry Carbon held the position of inaugural Chairperson of the Waste Authority from its
creation in May 2008 and, prior to this, was Chairman of the Waste Management Board for
the previous two years.

He has had carriage of the sometimes difficult and often complex job of establishing a new
Authority and managing the transition from an advisory board to an independent Authority.
This often difficult task has been achieved through Barry’s trademark dedication,
determination and tenacity.

Barry’s active public service career has spanned around 40 years. His involvement in developing innovative and inclusive waste minimisation and avoidance strategies for Western Australia will be one of the many legacies of his public service career. On behalf of my fellow Waste Authority members, I would like to acknowledge his enormous contribution during the past few years.

In his absence, I will take the role of Acting Chairman, and hope that the transition will be seamless for the waste stakeholders in Western Australia.

Jan Grimolby, Acting Chairman of the Waste Authority
