"As a Cairns resident for the past 36 years, I have constantly worked hard to improve the local community and I see my main task as working with everyone in the community." (Thelma Spelta 2008.)

I have constantly worked with members of the community and liaised with  QLD Police, Department of Housing, Local Schools, and Local and State government departments.   Thelma Spelta & Dennis Jia at the Neighbourhood Watch State Rally in Rockhampton 2007 receiving their awards for services to the community.

In 2002 I was instrumental in achieving the Fisheries Tribunal through Cairns Supreme Court. This resulted in construction of the Detention Basin in Kanimbla and the widening of Moody Creek from Cochrane Street to Alfred Street crossings in Mooroobool/Manunda areas.

At the same time I obtained State Government subsidy funding for the Detention Basin to the size of a Q10
 (one in 10 year flooding)

In 2007, I achieved kerbside numbering for the Mooroobool/Manunda areas, comprising of 1400 residents.

One of my main projects is to lobby for a better hospital system in Cairns and push for the Complete Cancer Care Precinct  (COUCH) to be established. I am very committed to lift the quality of living for the people of Cairns and will continue to address any issues you have.
