CBA commenced working with the Board of Burnie Brae in 2016 through a practical workshop and review of their governance processes and practices. This was followed by a significant project where we worked closely with CEO Kevin Rouse, the Board and the executive team to facilitate the development of their current strategic plan.

“In 2016 when Burnie Brae undertook to review its governance and planning strategies we appointed Community Business Australia to support the project.
The process was well planned and staged to meet our requirements. It was clear to all involved that Patrick Herd has significant experience in the community sector and we have no doubt that this knowledge has translated into the final product.
We are extremely satisfied with the outcomes we’ve achieved.”
