I am Dale Chapman Yuwaalaraay and Kooma born in Dirranbandi in south west Queensland on Yuwaalaraay and Kooma tribal lands. I have lived on Gubbi Gubbi land, known as the Sunshine Coast, since 1976.

I am a businesswoman and founder of My Dilly Bag. The company is 21 years old now, and I bring my networking and expertise in business along with a 35 year career in hospitality.

I have been elected 2 years running as the chairperson of the organisation and work with a group of incredible , loyal and skilled team of directors and staff.

A big believer in community partnerships and my direction for this year is to make stronger and meaningful relationships across the state. Looking forward to a productive and creative 2022.
