“A Hunter based certifier and licensed builder with over 20 years’ experience Kaine has become the HIA Hunter’s 8th Regional President,” said Craig Jennion, HIA Hunter Executive Director.
“For the next two years Kaine, along with newly elected Vice-President Rodney Tullipan of Valletta Homes and none other HIA members, will form the Hunter Regional Executive Committee,” said Mr Jennion.
The role of the Regional Executive Committee it is to represent the local region, assist in the development of HIA policies and provide a local forum to deal with regional issues.
Other members elected to the Regional Executive Committee include David Butler, Greg Doodson, Matthew Edwards, Kristy Francis, Paul Le Mottee, Allan MacKay, Joey Nicol, Richard Osborn and Daniel Syddall.
“I am confident that the experience, relationships across the industry, and enthusiasm of the Regional Executive Committee members will strengthen our ability to respond to both local and national matters,” said Mr Jennion.
The appointments also provided an opportunity to acknowledge outgoing President Greg Doodson.
“During Greg’s presidency we saw all levels of government finally recognise the significant issue of housing supply while at the same time industry continued to face price increases, skilled labour struggles, substantial interest rate hikes and a fall in consumer confidence. The knock-on effect was that we saw a decrease in local building approvals at a time it was irrevocably recognised that housing supply is the priority,” said newly appointed President Mr Tarlinton.
“I would like to acknowledge the significant contribution and commitment that Greg has provided the association, and I look forward over the next two years to building on his legacy and that of previous Hunter region Presidents,” said Mr Tarlinton.
“With a strong understanding of the challenges those in the residential building and construction industry face I'm certain Kaine will successfully lead the industry diverse HIA Hunter Regional Executive Committee,” concluded Mr Jennion.
