Biography
Bryan Jenkins has more than 30 years experience in environmental planning and management, including 20 years in the private sector as a consulting engineer and environmental planner. Jenkins was Director of Environment, Economics and Planning for Kinhill Engineers in Adelaide, from 1989 to 1994. His direct project involvement included work for the Steel Authority of India, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, water and wastewater treatment plants in China, and the third runway at Sydney Airport.
Jenkins left the private sector in 1994 and spent seven years as chief executive of the Western Australia Department of Environmental Protection. Here he was involved in the preparation of an Air Quality Management Plan for Perth, involving 80 stakeholder groups and coordination of programmes across 14 different agencies. He also led the development of an Environmental Protection Policy and Environmental Management Plan for Cockburn Sound, Western Australia's most polluted marine water body. He left there to become director of Murdoch Environment, the environmental consulting and education unit at Murdoch University in Perth, Western Australia, before being appointed CEO of Canterbury Regional Council (Environment Canterbury) in June 2003.2 Jenkins has also acted as a speaker for the New Zealand Planning Institute.3
Dr Jenkin's initial contract with Canterbury Regional Council was for a term of five years. The Council was required by the Local Government Act 2002 to have a contestable process with external applicants in order for Dr Jenkins to apply for another five year term.4 On 17 March 2008, Sir Kerry Burke released a media statement that Dr Jenkins had been reappointed for a further term of five years.5
