New trustee for Development
West Coast
Robert Buchanan has been appointed by the New
Zealand Law Society as an Independent Trustee to the
Development West Coast Trust Board.
Christchurch
born, Mr Buchanan specialises in public sector governance
and risk management. A former director of the Law
Commission, he was an Assistant Auditor General for eight
years until setting up his independent Wellington legal
practice in 2006. He replaces Brian Roche.
Tony
Williams, chairman Development West Coast, said that the
Trust Board has been impressed by the calibre of its recent
appointments.
“Brian Roche was an excellent
trustee and chairperson who added significant independent
value to Development West Coast, so to have a replacement of
the standing of Robert Buchanan, coupled with the recent
appointment of Dr John Chang, is very heartening,” he
said.
The appointment is for three years and takes
immediate effect.
Development West Coast has more
than $110 million of investments. It is committed to
building sustainable employment opportunities and generating
on-going economic benefits for the West Coast
region.
