Why I'm standing
I'm standing because I care. I want to build a district that is a nice place to visit but a great place to live. Its all about the people for me.
About me
I am community driven and I'm not afraid of hard work! I studied architecture but now work in the social sector through food bank and in my spare time I am a dedicated fire fighter. I have a robust understanding of financial challenges faced by people at the moment and feel that this puts me in a great position to really help people and make a measurable difference to the quality of lives.
My priorities
- Reduce the impact that council decisions can have on households by setting affordable rate levels.
- Improve the safety of the area by addressing roads and level crossings.
- Make sure that council does what they say they will do.
