Mr Rocky G. Stephen, Member for Ugar (Stephen) Island
Mr Stephen is the TSRA Board member for Ugar (Stephen Island). He is the Ugar Island Council Chairperson and a member of the ICC Board.
Mr Stephen is a traditional owner and considers native title rights including ownership over land and sea as among the top priorities for the Torres Strait. Other priority areas that he believes need to be addressed are the establishment of airstrips on Ugar and Dauan, extending dredging channels in the region and establishing a store on Ugar to service his community. He also sees improving outer island sports facilities, housing, improving health services and youth development in island communities as major concerns.
