Establishments Trust for a three year term. She is a practicing
architect with an interest in historic buildings and has been

This appointment fills a vacancy created by the retirement of Mr

September 1979 and before that with the Committee on Official
Establishments since September 1976.
I would like to place on record the Government's appreciation for
the valuable time and effort given by Mr Bell during his period
in office.
Two other members of the Trust have had their terms of
appointment extended; the Chairman, Sir John Bunting, AC, KBE,
for a further three years to January 1989 and Mrs F. D. Crean for
three years to September 1988.

conservation, development and efficient operation of the
buildings and grounds of the four official residences, Government
House and The Lodge in Canberra and Admiralty House and
Kirribilli House in Sydney.
