Bowen Tourism and Business now has two new committee members, Peter Greer and Karen Morton.
Peter is the owner and operator of the Queens Beach Tourist Village with his wife Jennie.
They purchased the park in 2019 and now call Bowen home.
Peter is very passionate about Bowen and says he likes to buy local, support local and employ local.
He has a genuine desire to ensure all guests at the park have a happy relaxing holiday and he is passionate about the promotion of Bowen and surrounds.
Karen is a long-term local resident as she moved to Bowen when she was in high school.
She now owns and operates Karen Morton Insurance Services.
She has extensive knowledge of the local area and is keen to see further promotion of Bowen.
Jenn Honnery has taken on the role as chair of the committee for the fifth year in a row and Kerry Meier will be the new deputy chairperson.
Leah Darwen is the treasurer for the second year in a row.
Jenn said she was looking forward to working with Karen and Peter as new committee members and she thanked outgoing committee members Ruth Morton, Emily Harvey and Kylie McRae for their commitment and dedication during their time on the board.
Bowen Tourism and Business is a not-for-profit organisation supported by more than 200 members.
The organisation operates the Big Mango Visitor Information Centre on the Bruce Highway and the information booth at Bowen’s Front Beach.
In the past financial year, the staff and volunteers welcomed more than 40,000 visitors.
