About Stephanie

Stephanie Addison-Brown commenced her career in local government at the City of Mandurah in 2004, after migrating to Australia from the UK where she originally worked for Lonely Planet. After 7 years and a variety of roles and projects at the City of Mandurah, Stephanie moved to Bunbury in 2011 to become the Director Corporate and Community Services. During her eight years at the City of Bunbury, she was seconded to the role of Director Sustainable Development for 12 months, a move she believes broadened her experience significantly and which stood her in good stead when she applied to be the CEO at the Shire of Augusta Margaret River. Stephanie has been the CEO at the Shire for almost 3 years during which time she has overseen delivery of a major main street redevelopment, supported the organisation and community through major storms, fires and COVID, and worked to establish more contemporary communication and engagement approaches with a new focus on place. Outside work Stephanie has a son who has just graduated from Year 12 and a couple of animals including a rescued racehorse.
