Enterprise Biloela Board of Directors Executive:

President: Di Morris

I grew up in Biloela, trained as a nurse in Brisbane, and lived and worked overseas before marrying Don, a local boy. We then travelled and worked overseas, with the view of coming back into the family business, Grevells Homemakers, in 1980.

I worked at Biloela Hospital, Wahroonga, and Oxley Clinic in nursing.

We have two children, both born in Biloela. They now both live in Biloela, after also being away for educational and other reasons. I also boast a daughter-in-law and granddaughter (of Norwegian descent) who live here.

My pro-active involvement in Agforce Biloela, and the State Committee for Rural Communities; being a Banana Shire Councillor for a second term; and my connections to Anglicare; Rural Division of General Practice and many other groups; organisations and individuals throughout this community and externally; assists with the view of making a difference.

Identifying, investigating, planning and reviewing strategies to improve services, quality of life, economic and social development for our communities being the aim.

The development of and continuance of the Biloela Comedy and Food Festival with the vision of “Host an annual event to enrich the economic and social fabric of the towns, The Banana shire and the region” I feel encapsulates this practice.

Continually I strive to promote the area as a great place to grow, live, invest and retire, and invite others to also apply this philosophy.

Vice President: Alan McTaggart

Alan has lived in Biloela for 25 years and managed the Department of Primary Industries Research Station prior to his retirement in 2006. Through this administrative and management role he has been involved in many semi government and community activities in Biloela.

He has maintained an active involvement in local service club activities through his involvement in Rotary locally and as a term as District Governor for the Central Queensland District9570.

Alan has retired to live in Biloela and now has the time to be more involved and active in local organizations. Alan says “My hope is that through activities like EBAI I can contribute to sustainable development for our economic growth, that infrastructure can be procured to match that progress and that we strike a balance that makes this place a great place to work or be in business and in which to bring up families.

Alan has three adult children and through his marriage to Desma shares another two with a total of 12 grandchildren between them.
