3/3/2026
Applications now open for CBH's Growers' Advisory Council CBH’s Growers’ Advisory Council (GAC) has opened for applications and has appointed a new Deputy Chair.
The GAC has re-appointed Clayton South from Wagin as Chair and has appointed Reece Curwen from South Stirling as Deputy Chair, replacing outgoing Deputy Chair Tarnya Fraser.
In addition, five positions are now available to WA grain growers due to the expiry of terms of sitting councillors.
There are two positions available in Districts 3 and 5, as well as one position available from any district.
CBH Chair Simon Stead congratulated the leaders on their appointment and encouraged growers from across all districts to apply.
"The Growers’ Advisory Council is one of the most important ways growers directly shape the future of our co operative,” Mr Stead said.
“By joining the Council, growers can provide input on strategic issues, share firsthand insights, and help inform CBH’s decision-making.”
“It’s also a unique opportunity for growers to gain a deeper understanding of how the co-operative operates, and how decisions are made,” Mr Stead said.
The GAC comprises 16 grower members appointed for a single four-year term, with representation across CBH’s five electoral districts.
Councillors meet in person four times a year and engage with CBH management at forums and events throughout the year.
“The GAC is a powerful forum for leadership development and collaboration, bringing together passionate growers who care deeply about the future of the grain industry.”
Applicants must address the selection criteria available on CBH’s website and provide five grower referees.
Applications close Sunday, 22 March 2026.
Successful candidates will commence their term in July 2026 following an interview process, undertaken by a panel comprising of CBH Directors, GAC representatives and CBH management.
Growers are encouraged to contact CBH’s Manager - Government & Industry Relations Kellie Todman on 0430 638 611 and visit cbhgroup.co/GAC.
