Former Queensland Government departmental head and experienced board director Dan Hunt has been appointed interim Chairman of the Board for Sunwater Limited.

“Mr Hunt served as the Chair of Seqwater for three years and spent an extended period as Director-General of the department overseeing water policy in the state,” the Treasurer said.

“His appointment will provide valuable support and leadership to the Board, until a permanent replacement is announced.

Mr Hunt is currently Chairman of the Granite Belt Water Ltd and is an independent member of the Audit Committee for Logan City Council.

Mr Hunt has been appointed as interim Chairman to replace Ms Leith Boully, who stepped down from the role on 28 February 2021.

“I want to take this opportunity to thank Ms Boully for the service she has provided to Sunwater over more than five years,” the Treasurer said.
