The Amateur Fishermen’s Association of the Northern Territory Inc (AFANT) today announced the appointment of Mr Chris Makepeace as its next Executive Officer.

“We are delighted that Chris has accepted the position and the Committee and I look forward to working with him on the many important issues impacting on recreational fishing in the NT” Warren de With, President of AFANT said today.

Mr Makepeace is well known in the recreational fishing sector in the NT and has been a part of the fishing scene for many years having been a member of the Barramundi Fishery Advisory Committee, the Amateur Fishermen’s Consultative Committee, the Ministerial Advisory Committee on Recreational Fishing and his involvement in recent years through his work in the fishing media.

Chris also brings with him to the job extensive experience in senior positions in the public service in the NT Government. He worked for a number of Ministers in the NT Government and is well respected for his knowledge and understandings of the machinations of government.
