Marion Fulker- Chair
Marion was appointed Chair of the Heritage Council in 2009 after serving four years on the board. Marion is the CEO of the Committee for Perth, a future focused organisation that is committed to creating a more cohesive, dynamic and attractive metropolitan area. In ‘A Cultural Compact for Perth, the 10 year challenge’, which was borne out of large scale community consultation undertaken by the Committee for Perth, a key recommendation is to link history and heritage in order to bring forward people’s stories and cultures as a way of appreciating our rich cultural heritage. Marion’s work as Chair of the Heritage Council aims to protect and enhance these features in a way that can be important to the Perth of the future. She believes that registration of places of State significance can serve to enhance our sense of place. Marion has a Masters in Business Administration and was the Executive Director of the Urban Development Institute of Australia (WA) from 2002 to 2006. Through her role on the Council, she is a member of the Western Australian Planning Commission’s Central Perth Planning Committee.
