The Directors of Australian Leisure and Entertainment Property Management Limited and ALE Property Group have announced that Robert Mactier has been appointed Chairman of ALEPML following the planned retirement of Peter Warne as Chairman and a director of the Group. The appointment is effective immediately. Mactier's appointment as Chairman was foreshadowed in November 2016 when he was appointed a non-executive director of ALEPML. Warne had previously confirmed that he intended to step down as Chairman of ALEPML during the first half of 2017, consistent with ALEPML's continuing program of Board renewal. Warne has served as a non-executive Director and Chairman of ALEPML since 2003 when ALE was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. Between 2006 and January 2017 Robert Mactier served as a non-executive Director of Melco Crown Entertainment Limited.
