In Memory of the late Mr Donald Mosby, Member for Masig (Yorke) Island 

Mr Mosby passed away in August 2007. He was the Chairperson of Yorke Island Council, a member of the ICC and held the TSRA Portfolio for Small Business and Economic Development and the Portfolio for Marine and Fisheries. Mr Mosby was also a member of the TSRA Fisheries Committee, PZJA Management Consultative Structure, Torres Strait Aquaculture Steering Committee and the North Queensland Indigenous Fisheries Committee.

Mr Mosby aimed to develop tourism and establish commercial ventures on Yorke Island as well as other communities in the region. He encouraged all community members to gain qualifications through tertiary education and training to increase the opportunity to establish their own enterprises and gain sustainable employment.

Mr Mosby also encouraged further development in the tourism, fisheries, building and commercial industries to move away from welfare dependence and progress to greater autonomy.
