Doug Hawkes
LNP Metropolitan Vice President
Doug and his wife Mary have three school-aged children, and have lived on the northside of Brisbane for the last 20 years. Prior to that, they lived and worked in Western Australia for several years. Both are Queenslanders, doing some (all in Mary’s case) of their growing up in North Queensland, and love returning to that part of the State whenever they can.
Doug has been an Engineer for almost 30 years and has owned and operated his own engineering business since 2000, with operations in Queensland and Western Australia. As well as running his business, he spends time contributing to Australian Standards Committees and has served on Boards and Management Committees of industry and community not-for-profit organisations. It is from this family and small business perspective that he wants to help the LNP be the best it can be such that poor Labor governments are replaced by good LNP governments, at all levels.
As an LNP member, Doug has undertaken to bring teams together, to work on common goals and to maintain focus
