June 23, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former Greater Whitsunday Alliance CEO Kylie Porter has been appointed CEO of the Queensland Farmers\u2019 Federation.<\/p>\n

QFF president Aaron Kiely said Ms Porter’s experience in regional economic development, industry advocacy and stakeholder engagement would be invaluable to QFF.<\/p>\n

\u201cKylie is a fantastic appointment for QFF, bringing with her a deep understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing regional Queensland, a strong track record with government at local, State and Federal levels, and a genuine passion for the future of Queensland agriculture,\u201d Mr Kiely said.<\/p>\n

Ms Porter has held senior roles with Greater Whitsunday Alliance (GW3) since 2017.\u00a0This independent economic development organisation covers the Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday regions.<\/p>\n

She is also a founding director of C-Res, a social enterprise which offers local procurement solutions in remote and regional communities across Australia in partnership with BHP and has served on Queensland Government Ministerial Advisory Councils and as a member of the Clean Economy Expert Panel.<\/p>\n

Ms Porter’s new role with QFF will begin on July 27.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
