Talking Business in Narangba

Since being elected to the Pine Rivers Shire Council in 2000, Bob has played a significant role in helping guide planning for the future of one of the fastest growing regions in Australia and in delivering the services and facilities that make the area one of the most sought after in which people from all corners of the globe have made their home.

Bob has played a key role in delivering on these services and facilities and in continuing to protect both the natural environment and the character of the towns, villages and rural areas that make up this unique part of the world.
