“We are sincerely grateful to Alan for his dedication and unwavering support.
“Both Mark Webber AO and Kimberley Brown are outstanding individuals and will bring fresh perspectives to the Board.”
Webber and Brown join a strong, diverse board, all of whom work in an honorary capacity across the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix and the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix.
The board includes; John Harnden AM (Chairman), Gillian Franklin (Deputy Chair), Laura Anderson, Mick Doohan AM, Mark Green, Kate Lundy and Trent Smyth.
