Moving to the Sunshine Coast in the late 1980s, Terry has been a local business owner for over 20 years and has established himself within the Caloundra community recognising the real need for community-based action.

His love for surfing has led Terry to win an Australian Masters Title. For three years Terry was a team leader for Rosies helping the homeless and has assisted with organising the PA Bendall Memorial Surf Competition which won Sunshine Coast event of the year in 2017.

With responsibility for the Economy Portfolio, which he shares with Cr Jason O’Pray, Terry contributes to the areas of Economic Development, Innovation, Tourism, Events & Sport across the whole Sunshine Coast, making use of both his small business owner experience and his passion for healthy active lifestyles.

Terry also holds positions on several Council committees, is a Director of Sunshine Coast Events Centre and has established the Division 2 Community Committee.
