About Cr  Pyne

Robert John Pyne (Rob Pyne) is a Cairns-based politician in the state of Queensland in Australia. He was the Member for Cairns in the Queensland Parliament (2015 – 2017). He was a Councillor on Cairns Regional Council 2008 – 2015 and 2020 – 2024.  In 2024, he was elected to represent Division 5.

Rob is a member of The Greens and a 'passionate progressive'. He sees Cairns inner-city suburbs as playing an important role in providing medium density housing in a sustainable manner with additional cycle and pedestrian infrastructure and improved public transport. He sees a shady green canopy throughout the division as vital to address emerging urban heat issues.

Division 5 focuses on the inner suburbs including Cairns city, Cairns North, Portsmith, Westcourt, Parramatta Park, Aeroglen, Bungalow and part of Manunda.  It also includes Green Island.
