EIME, Brian Eric

I am fortunate to be a fourth generation Eime that enjoys being involved and working for the Blyth Community. Born and educated at Blyth Primary School and secondary education at Scotch College, Torrens Park. Following school education, I was invited to join the Clare Rural Youth Club. The pledge recited at the commencement of each meeting went something like this, " I promise to do my best to lead a clean and honest life, to help others at all times, so help me God". Rural Youth was a wonderful organisation that installed many skills for life, including supporting the community. Positions held in the community include President Tennis Club, Chairman Blyth School Council when Kybunga transferred to Blyth, Chairman of the Institute during the addition of the annex, President Bowling Club three separate terms and treasurer six years building new shelters and replacing green . As a former Citizen of the year I would be honored to represent the Northern Ward of Wakefield Regional Council.

Lower Eyre Council – Area Councillor

ISLE, John Barry

I have lived on the Eyre Peninsula for the last 25 years and in Coffin Bay for almost 3 years. My wife Jodie and I have been married for 20+ years and have two boys aged 18 and 15. I have always worked in the fishing industry since leaving home at 16, and it has taken me around the world, up and down the East and West coast of Australia, in roles as diverse as pearl diving in Broome, to now owning Coffin Bay cockle quota. I am employed as the General Manager of a farming operation for the largest fishing company operating on the Eyre Peninsula. I have conservative values and am a firm believer in free enterprise and the need to invest in communities to ensure their growth and success. With my vast experience in business, proactive character and knowledge of the local area, I look forward to the opportunity to build relationships with members of the community and to deliver positive outcomes to our Lower Eyre Peninsula region.
