Clay Bauman was elected as Councillor for Division 2 at a by-election in December 2022 and was re-elected in 2024.
Born in Brisbane and educated at Gregory Terrace St Joseph’s College in Brisbane, the travel bug hit Clay and he travelled the world while also working in digital video editing.
After his return to Australia, Councillor Clay moved to Airlie Beach in 2007 and has now settled in Cannonvale, doing video work and managing private sailing boats.
Clay has always been an active volunteer for sporting clubs and community groups and is a passionate advocate for retaining the beach town character of the area to ensure a successful future for our region.
After many years of reading Council agendas and reports and attending meetings, Clay put his hand up and was elected to represent Division 2 following the resignation of Councillor Al Grundy in late 2022.
