Age:   56 years old

Occupation: Owner/Manager of Turanga Butchery

I was born and raised in Mount Isa and have lived here all my life. I completed a butchering apprenticeship then went to work in the mines for 26 years before my wife and I bought a local butcher shop which has developed into two shops. We have 5 children and 6 grandchildren between us.

My hobbies include Pistol Shooting, Fishing & Camping.

I was asked if I wanted to join The Peoples Group and run for councillor and as I am very passionate about the progression and people of Mount Isa, I readily agreed to be a part of Council.

Important Issues for me as a Councillor:

  • Reasonably priced land with realistic covenants' for average homeowners to build on.
  • Unsupervised groups of juveniles walking the streets late at night and breaking into properties.
  • Riverbed dwellers rubbishing the water ways.
  • Street lighting, kerbing, channelling and pot holes in roadways
  • Update existing infrastructure
  • I would like to see Mount Isa join he Tidy Towns competition and get the public to take pride in the beautification of their City.
