Jeff Heath

I did my schooling at Donnybrook and years 11 and 12 at Scotch College. Upon leaving school I went back to help run the family farm. Over time this grew into a successful beef and horticultural operation. In 1989 I married Angelina and have two daughters, Jesslyn and Alesha. I had always been interested in increasing beef production which got me involved with the Department of Agriculture promoting their controlled grazing system by doing trials on my property and and promoting it to other farmers. Then as the apple orchard came into full production I became a Director on the board of Pink Lady Australia and was Treasurer of the Donnybrook Orchard Improvement Group.

We sold the farm in 2006 and built a new home in Meldene Estate, Donnybrook. I have always had a keen interest in sport including badminton, tennis and golf and have held a number of positions within those clubs; Captain of Balingup Golf Club, President and Captain of Donnybrook Tennis Club and Captain of the Donnybrook Golf Club. I am also a Life Member of the Donnybrook Tennis Club.
Since leaving the farm in 2006 I have worked as a Rural Real Estate Sales Person and am enjoying the continuing contact with rural people.
