Mr Le Motte will join newly elected President Grant Williamson, Managing Director at Winspace Constructions on the board of the Housing Industry Association (HIA) Hunter Region.

Megan Mottley of Polytec and Greg Doodson of Suncoast Bathroom Renovations were also elected for the first time.

Mr Williamson is “A Hunter builder with extensive home extension and renovation experience Grant Williamson
has become the HIA Hunter’s 5th Regional President”, said Craig Jennion, HIA Hunter Executive Director.

“For the next two years Grant, along with newly elected Vice-President Paul Le Mottee of Le Mottee Group and 10 other HIA members will form the Hunter Regional Executive Committee”, said Mr Jennion.

The executive committee represents the local region, assists in the development of HIA policies and provide a local forum to deal with regional issues.

Paul Le Motte told News Of The Area, “Sitting on the Board of the Association of Accredited Certifiers, sitting on Council, and now being Vice President of the Housing Industry Association, together with being a member of the Planning Institute of Australia, the Association of Consulting Surveyors and Country Surveyors NSW brings with it a mountain of work, and a mountain of insight.

“It is this insight that helps me understand the issues relating to building a house from way back when someone was rezoning land from a farm to a subdivision right up to when the turf is being laid and the keys are being handed over,” he said.

Mr Le Motte was elected to Port Stephens Council in 2012.

From his office in Raymond Terrace, he runs a successful surveying, civil engineering and town planning business.

The HIA is an organisation really dedicated to looking after their members and providing ongoing education and training to its members.
