TasPorts Chair Greg McCann has announced that Chief Executive Officer Anthony Donald will step down from the role, concluding his tenure in March 2026.
Mr McCann said that the board had accepted Mr Donald’s resignation and thanked him for his significant contribution to the organisation.
“Anthony has served TasPorts for almost ten years, including leading the organisation since 2018, first as Acting Chief Executive Officer and then, from 2019, as CEO,” Mr McCann said.
“During that time, Anthony has led TasPorts through a period of significant change and investment, strengthening our focus on safety, sustainability, and the delivery of critical port infrastructure across the state.”
Mr McCann said Mr Donald would remain in the role until March 2026 to ensure continuity as TasPorts progresses major projects and operational priorities across its port network.
“Anthony’s continued leadership during this transition period will provide stability for our workforce, customers and stakeholders and ensure TasPorts remains focused on delivering for Tasmania,” he said.
Mr Donald said it had been a privilege to lead the organisation.
“Serving as CEO of TasPorts has been a deeply rewarding experience, and I am proud of what our people have achieved together. TasPorts plays a vital role in Tasmania’s economy, and I remain fully committed to supporting the Board and the organisation through this important transition,” Mr Donald said.
The TasPorts Board will now progress planning for the next phase of leadership, including interim arrangements and the process to appoint a new Chief Executive Officer.
