Katie Milne, Mayor of the Tweed Shire
Katie Milne is the Mayor of Tweed Shire and has been a Tweed Shire Councillor for 8 years. Katie has a background in small business, hospitality, community service, and conservation.
During her time on Council she has proposed over 400 initiatives to support the community, the environment and the economy.
Some of her achievements include initiating the following strategies:
- Prioritising Council’s Environmental Sustainability projects,
- The Tweed Shire Economic Development Strategy, and
- A Scenic Landscape Protection Strategy.
Katie is very worried about climate change and our “heartbreakingly, hopeless” environmental laws.
“It’s not right to leave the planet irreversibly damaged,” she said. “All levels of Government are dragging their heels on renewable energy and putting us all literally in danger.
It doesn’t have to be like that. There is great promise of a much more positive green future but we must act swiftly, decisively and creatively.
Please vote for a truly progressive and Green energised Council that will take climate change seriously. Conservative and middle of the road Councillors are not what we need now.”
