Congratulations to the NRG’s Matt Townsend who was recognised by MP David Smith at the 2024 Bean Volunteer Recognition Evening in late November. A member of the NRG Steering Committee since 2013, Matt was recognised for his expert analysis of construction options and systematic design of work sequences to minimise cost and optimise efficiency. His calm and reasoned communication on difficult technical issues is also highly valued by the committee.
Matt’s talent and hard work were key to the completion this year of Stage 1 of the National Rock Garden and his continuing contributions will ensure that Stage 2 will be delivered with equal success. His ability to collaborate across multiple disciplines, coupled with his deep understanding of both project management and technical requirements, has consistently contributed to the progression of the NRG’s ambitious goals. As the team moves forward with Stage 2, Matt’s leadership and expertise will remain integral in navigating challenges, refining processes, and driving the project toward successful completion.
Congratulations Matt!
