Cr Neil Foreman (Term expires 2025)

Cr Foreman moved to Jerramungup as a 23yo shearer from Narrogin in December 1988. The vibrant community which was, and still is, steeped in volunteering and sporting pursuits was the main persuader to stay. He then took on a role with the local fuel supplier and delivered fuel throughout the district. In 2003 he started working for Wray Agencies as a stock agent for Wesfarmers (now known as Nutrien Ag). This grounding led to him and his partner purchasing the business in 2007 and so began Foreman Rural which they still remain owners of.

In March this year they also purchased Hassell District Traders in which they have set up a hardware store and have obtained the licence for the Post Office.

Having 2 young children and multiple businesses in the Shire Cr Foreman has a strong commitment to maintaining a strong, vibrant, local rural community where families, young people, small businesses and family enterprises can prosper. He is actively involved in local sporting clubs and community groups within Jerramungup.
