Wayne TREDREA Owner operator of a manufacturing business for over 25 years. Strengths are in coordinating, prioritising, time management and taking responsibility for actions. I also believe communicating with my employees and customers is key for success. From the age of 5, I have been enjoying everything the river communities have to offer from Morgan, Mannum, Bow Hill and now as a property owner for 15 years in Blanchetown with my family. Currently, I am involved in the below committees: President - Blanchetown Shack Owner Association (BSOA); Treasurer - River Murray Boating Recreational Advisory Group (RMBRAG); Committee Member - Blanchetown Community Services Committee (BCSC). Being involved with several committees has given me the experience, motivation, enthusiasm and passion to help communities improve. I would represent the communities to council to develop strategies for achieving their project objectives and their desire to improve. 172 Page Drive Blanchetown 5357.
