Spark Infrastructure announces the appointment of Mr Greg Martin to the Board of Spark Infrastructure and foreshadows Dr Keith Turner's intention to retire from the Board at conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting to be held in May 2017.

As part of its succession planning, the Board has undertaken an appropriate search process which identified Mr Martin as a new Director. Mr Martin's appointment will be effective from 1 January 2017. He will stand for election to the Board at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") to be held on 23 May 2017, as a new Independent Non-Executive Director with the unanimous support of the Board.

Greg Martin has over 35 years' experience in the energy, utility and infrastructure sectors, having spent 25 years with The Australian Gas Light Company (AGL), including five years as CEO and Managing Director. After leaving AGL, Mr. Martin was CEO of the infrastructure division of Challenger Financial Services Group and, subsequently, CEO and Managing Director of Murchison Metals Limited.

He currently serves as Chairman of Iluka Resources Limited, Deputy Board Chair of Western Power and a non- executive Director of Santos Limited. Mr Martin also serves as a member of the COAG Energy Council Energy Appointments Selection Panel. He is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Management, a Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and holds a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Technology Sydney and a Bachelor of Economics from the University of Sydney.

"I am delighted to welcome Greg to the Board of Spark Infrastructure. His proven commercial acumen and extensive experience in the energy sector will be a valuable addition to the existing skills and experience currently on our Board," said Dr. Doug McTaggart, Chairman of Spark Infrastructure.

Dr Turner's retirement from the Board is part of a continual process of Board renewal. Dr Turner will remain as a Director on the Boards of the portfolio businesses in which Spark Infrastructure holds an interest - TransGrid, SA Power Networks and Victoria Power Networks.

"Keith has made an extremely valuable contribution to Spark during a time of significant change in the business environment, technological innovation and regulatory reform. I am pleased that we will continue to receive the benefit of his deep domain knowledge and thoughtful approach through his continued role on the Boards of the businesses in our investment portfolio," he added.

Following the appointment of Mr Martin and until the retirement of Dr Turner, the Board of Spark Infrastructure will have eight directors, comprising seven Independent Directors and the Managing Director.
