Tania Powick

Tania Powick has served as a Director of Coastline Bank since 2020, contributing to each of its committees over this time.

She is currently Deputy Chair and chairs the Community Foundation Committee. Her time on the Board has provided valuable continuity and a deep understanding of Coastline’s strategy, governance and the communities it serves.

A Chartered Accountant and Certified Financial Planner, Tania operates a financial planning practice in Kempsey. Her professional experiences provide a strong financial foundation for her role as a Director.

Having worked in the Macleay Valley for more than 34 years, Tania has longstanding regional connections. Her involvement in volunteer roles and local organisations has strengthened her appreciation of local needs.

Tania is a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, and sits on various charity and community based boards.

In seeking a third term, Tania offers financial expertise, six years of Board experience and a strong sense of community. She values the principles at the heart of Coastline and is committed to helping the Bank remain strong and sustainable, so it can continue making a meaningful difference to its customers and its communities into the future.

Jason Doyle

Coastline has grown to about $1 billion while staying local and member-owned. Technology, scams, flood risk and a younger membership are changing banking, and I bring fresh skills to meet them.

I'm a Coastline member who lives in the Hastings Valley and has worked in the Macleay Valley for over five years. I oversee a local council's $82 million commercial and operational property portfolio. Most Coastline lending is property-secured, so I understand how valuations and flood risk affect members and the bank. I volunteer at the Port Macquarie Community Garden and The Nature School, and serve as Secretary of a community reserve board.

I have more than 20 years in banking and finance, from Suncorp, Macquarie Bank and RESIMAC to Chief Financial Officer. I hold an MBA, a Master of Commerce and a Bachelor of Economics

(Finance). I'm a Fellow of the Governance Institute of Australia and member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

I have completed two international Al specialisations: Al in Financial Services (University of Oxford, Said Business School) and Al for Business (University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School). I would use this to protect members from scams and improve service, keeping local people at the centre.
