End of the road near for Loades

BY JOSH SIM

NRMA Chairman Kyle Loades will step down from the board as his 12-year tenure comes to a mandatory end.

Loades was elected to the NRMA board back in 2005 and the constitution states that no member can serve for longer than a maximum term of 12 years.

Having lived in Newcastle for the majority of his life, Loades has been instrumental in having a voice for Hunter residents and the infrastructure the city requires.

Loades rates the one-billion-dollar Hunter Expressway as one of his greatest success' in the role.

'Many of the projects that were on the drawing board or (ideas) 15 years ago have gradually come to fruition,' said Mr Loades.

'I've really enjoyed being able to represent the interests of a few hundred thousand NRMA members here in the Hunter.'

Loades' official end date will be in December with an election for a new Chairman and board member to be held in the coming months.
