Walter David Loveridge CMG (13 September 1867 – 6 January 1940)[1] was an Australian cricketer, engineer and public service administrator.[2]
Loveridge was born in Sydney and educated at Newington College (1880–1884).[3]
Loveridge played first-class cricket as a right-handed batsman and wicketkeeper for New South Wales in a single match in the 1902–03 season.
Late in 1884, Loveridge entered the New South Wales Lands Department as a cadet draughtsman and remained in the state's public service until his retirement in 1930, due to ill health.[4] From the position of inspector in the State Treasury, Loveridge was appointed a member of the New South Wales Public Service Board on 23 April 1920[5] and later served as chairman.[6] In 1930 he was appointed a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George for his service as President of the Sydney Harbour Trust (1924–1930).[7]
