Minister for State Development Cameron Dick has today announced the appointment of Ms Toni Power as Queensland’s new Coordinator-General.
Ms Power has 25 years’ experience working in the public sector at state and Commonwealth levels, and has held numerous executive roles, most recently as Deputy Director-General in Queensland’s Department of State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning, and the Department of Housing and Public Works.
