Introducing Levi Smith - Update from the Property Manager
Pierre Eid unfortunately finished up with Girl Guides in mid June.
However from 21 July Levi Smith will be joining the Property Team at the Guide House as Building Project Manager on a 5 month contract to December 2025.
Levi has over 30 years experience in the building industry. He has operated his own building company and has also worked as a Project Manager and Site Supervisor for others–including one that provided upgrades and maintenance to public housing over an extended period.
The exclusive focus of the role to December will continue to be on getting 3 key Property projects well underway including:
Repairs, maintenance and compliance work as identified in the Progroup reports for priority halls in each Region
For halls we will be relinquishing out of the Progroup reports process, helping Districts and Regions where needed to get make good repairs done and halls cleaned and emptied and ready to hand back to Council or Crown Lands
Getting unapproved septic systems at campsites and halls approved and upgraded where needed
Levi will primarily be out and about doing site visits to halls and campsites across all Regions.
The Property Manager, together with Levi, will continue the meetings already begun with each Region team to discuss and agree the priority halls for each Region for repairs, maintenance and compliance work from the Progroup reports. Levi will then make contact with District Managers and other hall contacts, and organise site visits to those halls to get things underway.
All other Property matters, including new repair and maintenance issues, should continue to be sent to the Property team at propertyadmin@girlguidesnswactnt.org.au as usual.
