Re-elected: 2021

Damian first moved to the Northern Territory in 1974 and has lived in a number of areas such as Maningrida, Katherine, Darwin before settling with his partner, Maria, in Gunn, Palmerston. 

Damian has prior experience in politics in the Northern Territory holding the position of Federal Member for Solomon from 2007 - 2010. Since then, Damian is currently the NT organiser of the Australian Workers Union, working predominantly on the Inpex project. 

Damian believes Palmerston is a young, vibrant, multi-cultural city of enormous potential where, if you work hard, you can make the most of your opportunities. You can find Damian on the golf course, out fishing or spending quality time with his family.

He looks forward to engaging with as many Palmerston residents as he can during his term and would like to see more infrastructure and playgrounds established within Palmerston, continue a strong and sustainable City into the future and deliver his responsibilities as a part of Council and to do them well.
