Seaport general manager Scott Keane (front) and planning and environment manager Bill Boylson conduct water quality tests at Mackay harbour.

A new planning and environment manager has come on board at the Mackay Port Authority.

But Bill Boylson is no stranger to Mackay. He has spent the past 12 months with the Canegrowers organisation working on a pilot project examining Environmental Management Systems.

Mr Boylson holds a Masters Degree in Environmental Management (sustainable development) and replaces Scott Keane who has been appointed to the senior role of general manager Seaport.

Mr Boylson is looking forward to new challenges at the MPA.

It's a great opportunity to stay in the region and to work for an organisation that's committed to sustainable development, he said.

I also will be in a position to help our tenants at the sea and air ports better manage their own operations with the view of providing better outcomes for their businesses and the environment.

Mr Boylson is a keen rugby player and has played representative union for Mackay.

Bill and fiancé Sorkunde Gogenola will travel to Spain to be married in April.

We love Mackay and the lifestyle and we're looking forward to making Mackay home, he said.
