Steve Wroe

 Mary-Anne THOMAS (Macedon – Leader of the House, Minister for Health, Minister for Ambulance Services, Minister for Women) (09:55): Steve Wroe was fun and dynamic, brimming with ideas and energy. A CEO at Daylesford Macedon Tourism, he completely transformed our tourism economy with his singular focus on increasing visitation and more overnight stays in the Daylesford–Macedon region. He was hugely respected by tourism operators and tourism leaders alike, and it was always a pleasure to spend time with him. From Australia’s top tiny town win for Trentham last year at the Australian Tourism Awards to helping implement the visitor economy partnerships, Steve’s contribution was enormous. While Steve lived with cancer for over four years, he never lost his optimism or generosity of spirit. To Steve’s wife Morgan and their young girls Frankie and Lola: I am so sorry for your loss.
