Andrew Campbell is the Managing Director of Triple Helix Consulting and, for the foreseeable future, its sole employee. Andrew has been at the cutting edge of natural resource management in Australia for 25 years. He has played influential roles in research (notably as CEO of Land & Water Australia from 2000-2006), in policy as a senior executive in the Australian Government, and in extension with the Victorian Government. Andrew was instrumental in the development of Landcare, working with Rick Farley from the National Farmers' Federation and Phillip Toyne from the Australian Conservation Foundation to develop the proposal to then Prime Minister Bob Hawke that catalysed the Decade of Landcare. Andrew was Australia's first National Landcare Facilitator from 1989-92. He also pioneered the concept of Whole Farm Planning as Manager of the privately-funded Potter Farmland Plan initiative in western Victoria in the 1980s.
Andrew Campbell is Chair of the Board of the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN), a Visiting Fellow at the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University (ANU), a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, and a Director of the Future Farm Industries CRC. He is a member of the Editorial Board of ECOS magazine, Queanbeyan City's Environmental Advisory Committee, the Expert Reference Group of the ACT Government's Urban Forest Renewal Program, and the Scientific Reference Panel of the Commonwealth Environment Research Facilities (CERF) program. He is also President of the School Council of Queanbeyan Public School.
Andrew’s family has been farming in western Victoria since the 1860s. He has managed the family farm near Cavendish (farm forestry, prime lambs and wool) from a distance since 1987, with the help of a neighbour. He lives on a bush block at Queanbeyan NSW with his partner Kate, two children, a menagerie of chooks and pets, and a passing parade of dogs rescued by Kate.
