Why I'm standing
I have traits that could prove valuable to have on a council. I adore my hometown of Amberley (my first real urban-dwelling experience) and I want to see the town, surrounding areas and my community thrive. I have lived on farms my whole life, until these past five years, so importantly I can see both sides of the rural verses urban coin. I'm consistent, honest and down to earth.
About me
I bring a sensible, considered approach to decision making on issues that effect the community that I love. I work well in a team. Decisions would be reached after much consideration for all implications and outcomes. I have sound values and reasoning and I'm future focused. I am creative, innovative and optimistic.
My priorities
- Link together a wide range of initiatives to provide a strong social well-being network.
- Seek environmental best practices across the board.
- Champion youth development for a wider uptake of community involvement.
