Mr Bourne, has worked for the Naracoorte Lucindale Council since July 2011, commencing as the Director of Planning and Community Services and then in April 2015 accepting the position of Director Operations.
Some of the major projects that have been completed during Mr Bourne’s nine years with the Naracoorte Lucindale Council are the upgrade of stormwater drainage in the Naracoorte, undergrounding powerlines and upgrading the road and streetscape along Robertson Street, developing and implementing masterplans for Memorial Parklands and Market Square, upgrades to the Naracoorte Aerodrome and the construction of the Lucindale Road roundabout which assisted in the development of the adjacent industrial land.
Mr Bourne has been a strong advocate for the Naracoorte Regional Livestock Exchange with the many improvements completed, including: installation of the waste water treatment plant and weighbridge, construction of the roof over the cattle selling yards, upgrading the cattle loading ramps, and the upgrade of cattle selling pens. Many of these projects have been partly funded with external government grants.
