Steven has a proven track record in delivering business and infrastructure improvements in highly visible, complex environments. A former Senior Executive at NSW Roads and Maritime Services, Steven oversaw the structural re-organisations needed to develop the long-term team capability of the Sydney road network. Steven is currently the General Manager of Hornsby Shire Council. The Council serves a diverse population in the Northern Suburbs of Sydney who highly value recreation and sporting opportunities. Steven's career vision has been always to meet the expectations of his customers. He has been involved in the development, delivery and management of a wide range of sporting infrastructure, delivering the first truly publicly available synthetic playing surface in Sydney, coordinating multiple delivery partners in a unique funding and business model. Steven is a passionate supporter of the role of local government in improving local communities through innovative recreation opportunities. Hornsby Shire Council recently adopted a Play Plan to holistically consider all aspects of play across the Shire, including a vision, guiding principles and detailed action plan for seven new play spaces, five special use and eight upgraded play spaces. The Council is partnering with Northern District Cricket Club to deliver a $9 million upgrade to facilities for the Hornsby Shire community, including an upgraded sports surface and an award winning state-of-the-art indoor cricket facility and a new pavilion at Mark Taylor Oval in the suburb of Waitara. Steven is firmly of the view that all levels of government bear responsibility to encourage community health and wellbeing, extending beyond the delivery of recreational infrastructure, and should holistically manage the cultural and social space to ensure all levels of society can play, recreate and enjoy the maximum opportunities for fulfilling lives.
