Cr Michael Smart
Leeuwin Ward
Cr Mike Smart was elected as a Leeuwin Ward Councillor of the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River in October of 2007. He has holidayed in Augusta for 40 Years and lived there for the last 9 Years.
After completing his education in Adelaide, Mike moved to Western Australia in 1967 to work with his father developing a sheep and cattle enterprise 40 miles east of Manjimup.
In 1990 he sold up and relocated to Middlesex near Manjimup where he spent the next ten years growing processing potatoes for the French-fry company Simplot.
Mike took a leadership role in the processing potato industry and instigated a study trip to the USA which in turn brought significant knowledge back to both WA and Tasmania.
Through the 90’s he was instrumental in creating partnerships to establish a major tree plantation at Dingup and a large vineyard at Pemberton. He has continuing involvement with cattle, blue gums and vineyards.
Prior to Council commitments, Mike, being a strong family man and father of five, was heavily involved with the community with active roles in St Johns Ambulance, the Augusta Golf Club and is currently president of the Tennis Club.
Cr Smart's term of office expires in October 2011.
