The vacancy for the position of Chief Executive of Landgate, Western Australia’s land information authority, has been filled from within the organisation following the announcement that Trish Scully, the current General Manager Location Services, will take up the role as of 2 September 2024
According to the WA Government, the appointment came following an extensive search and a comprehensive recruitment process, which included selection panel representation from both the property sector and public sector.
Ms Scully comes to the role with nearly 30 years of experience in auditing, finance, strategy, project and general management under her belt.
She led the Landgate project team that helped deliver $1.4 billion in value from the partial commercialisation of the agency’s automated land titling functions, and was responsible for securing a $140 million, 10-year commitment from the WA Government for Spatial WA, a project to deliver an Advanced Spatial Digital Twin for the State.
As General Manager Location Services, Scully has been responsible for:
- Data sharing and collaboration
- Aerial and satellite imagery; topography; names and addressing
- Geodetic and cadastral data and systems
- Geospatial and graphic services
In her new role as Chief Executive, she becomes responsible for:
- Executive management
- Ministerial and parliamentary liaison
- Strategic communications
- Audit, compliance, and governance
- Legislation and policy
Scully takes over from Acting Chief Executive, Bruce Roberts, who in turn took over from former Chief Executive, Graeme Gammie, who had served in the role for five years before announcing his decision to step down in early 2024.
“On behalf of the Cook Government, I congratulate Trish Scully on her appointment as chief executive at Landgate and look forward to working collaboratively together,” said Lands Minister, John Carey.
“I also want to take the opportunity to acknowledge Bruce Roberts, registrar of titles at Landgate for his efforts as interim chief executive.”
