Colin Boyce – Member for Flynn

I grew up in regional Queensland and worked my way around the state in many industries after leaving school. I was a ringer, a timber cutter, a plant operator and earthmoving contractor. I’m a qualified boilermaker and spent a few years on the gas pipelines as a high-pressure pipe welder, including working on the QGC pipeline to Curtis Island.

When I’m not at work for Flynn, you’ll find me bushwalking around Central Queensland. I relax while exploring the ranges and gorges and looking for Aboriginal rock art.

My wife Terri and I have three adult children and five grandchildren. Terri is the Deputy Mayor of the Banana Shire Council and while busy with her own endeavours including establishing a regional childcare centre, supports me in Canberra and Flynn whenever she is able. We also have a family cattle and farming enterprise that she runs capably, given that I am in Canberra for 20 weeks each year.

I’ve represented the people of Flynn since 2022, and I believe there’s plenty more to do. I’m a hard worker and am keen to keep raising the issues that affect our lives in Flynn. I want to continue to take Flynn forward.

I have a track record of standing up for what’s right in the Flynn electorate. This includes successfully advocating for the reinstatement of maternity services at Gladstone Hospital, stopping Labor’s ‘fresh food tax,’ ensuring our region gets its fair share of funding and stopping big corporations and their plan to pump industrial waste into the Great Artesian Basin.
