Audit and risk committee

Three new independent members have been appointed to Council's audit and risk committee.

These appointments conclude Council’s search for an experienced and highly competent committee.

On 28 October 2025, the Council resolved to appoint:

• Independent chair, Martin Cutter, for a term of three years
• Independent member, Casey Nunn ASM OAM, for a term of two-and-a-half years, and
• Independent member, Meriel O’Sullivan, for a term of two years.

These appointments provide the mix of skills and experience to provide confidence in Council fulfilling its corporate governance responsibilities, through oversight of Council’s accounting and financial reporting practices, management of risk, internal controls, operation of good governance and fostering a culture of sound organisational ethics.

The staggered appointment terms have been structured to ensure continuity of knowledge and experience on the committee, preventing all memberships from expiring simultaneously and maintaining consistent oversight of Council's governance functions.

All three members begin on 1 November 2025.
