Heather Ives
CRC COORDINATOR
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE PEOPLE
TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?
I was born in the UK but grew up on
Sydney’s northern beaches. After school I
studied Graphic Design, then started
work, gaining experience within the
Advertising industry. In my 20’s I lived in
London and worked at a Design Studio,
when I met my husband, Steve.
I’ve travelled extensively and enjoy
learning about different countries and
cultures. After working as an Art Director
for 15 years in Sydney, it was time for a
change. In 1996 we moved to WA, to be
closer to family and ‘temporarily’ rented a
house in Corrigin (with an outside loo)!
I started working at the Corrigin CRC
(formerly Telecentre) in 2004 and 12
years on, I’m still here !

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE PEOPLE
TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?
I grew up in Perth and worked for
Centro Properties as an Operations
Manager for many years, being a
registered Builder by trade. In 2005
my wife Gwen and I moved to Corrigin
to ‘slow down a bit’ and to take over
the lease of the Caravan Park. I
started working for the Shire 11 years
ago, as the “Tip Manager” (now known
as the Waste Transfer Station) and
over this time I have seen many
improvements for the better.
