Bradford, who stepped down on the expiry of his three-year term, is a former ceo of the Port of Melbourne and was the first external chairman appointed to the ACA management committee.
ACA ceo Jill Abel thanked Bradford for leading the organisation through a period of extraordinary growth and its recent name change and rebranding.
‘With our focus being firmly on destination development, including all-important infrastructure needs, the timing is perfect for Grant to continue the great work undertaken by Stephen and the management committee to steer us through the next important years,’ Abel said.
Jay McKenzie (Bob Wood Cruise Group) has joined the committee and Martin Bidgood (Intercruises Shoreside & Port Services), Thor Elliott (Fremantle Ports), Tony Clementson (Tourism Northern Territory) and Anne McVilly (Port Arthur Historic Authority) retain their positions.
Julie O’Brien (Tourism & Events Queensland) continues in the role of deputy chairman.
