One-term Councillor has voted consistently as a ‘bloc’ with Mayor Stewart and Cr Karen Finzel against river conservation projects and for many contested STA applications. Once described the spread of STA as an “imaginary problem”.

Argued to have STA as a consistent use in all residential zones across Noosa Shire, and was supported by Cr Finzel in an attempt to amend the Town Plan to include STA as a consistent use in the Low Density Residential zone. Now states STA should be ‘managed’ rather than further restricted. Amelia did not respond to our candidate questions.
