Why I'm standing

I believe our city is incredible! I would like to see more art and culture supported. This will allow for a thriving city centre and with borders opening a great opportunity to show off our city as a tourism destination.

About me

I am passionate about my arts community! I am not afraid to reach out to experts and listen to those in, not only, our city but wider industries to ensure that what I am bringing to the table is the best possible solution for our city!

My priorities
  1. Support our art and cultural communities!
  2. Encourage industries such as film and music in investing in our city.
  3. Support framework for the sustainability of our new regional theatre.
