Mr Donald Banu
TSRA Member for Boigu Island

Mr Donald Banu is the returning TSRA Member for Boigu Island and will sit as a TSRA Board Member for his second term. Previously, Mr Banu held the Portfolio for Native Title and will continue his work in this area during his second term. Increased capacity building for Prescribed Bodies Corporate is one area which Mr Banu would like to focus so that people in the Torres Strait can undertake opportunities, such as lease agreements, as they arise.

To maximise benefits for the Torres Strait community, Mr Banu aims to maintain positive working relationships across the whole of government framework and, in particular, with community stakeholders. Mr Banu will strive to ensure that there are developments in home ownership, as well as ensure that health and associated cross border issues between Australia and Papua New Guinea are addressed through the Torres Strait Treaty.
