Christine Doan
The Malanda North site is owned by long time Tablelands resident Christine Doan. A devoted, innovative & accomplished horsewoman and Australian Olympian, Christine is also well known in the Far North for her community activism and energetic commitment to preserving the Tablelands’ amazing natural environment. She donated part of her land at Malanda North to help draw the much needed Ozcare aged care facility to town. Christine's biggest challenge is to make sustainable property development an economic reality. Christine immigrated to Australia from North America 40 years ago. She is proud to call herself an Aussie and Tablelander.
