The Minister has appointed Neville Harris as a new member of the Board. Mr Harris brings essential governance experience, as well as a background in project management of construction, engineering, and infrastructure projects.

Dame Therese Walsh has been reappointed for a further year, ensuring that the Board continues to benefit from her extensive knowledge of financial management and auditing.

Dr Neil Gilbert has been reappointed for a further three-year term. Dr Gilbert brings a valuable background in Antarctic science and governance to the Board.

These changes will ensure the Board has continuity and strong leadership across all areas of Antarctica New Zealand’s work, while providing the expertise needed to support delivery of the redevelopment of Scott Base.
