Why I'm standing
I am running because I can make a difference! Because people matter. Because we need to value our communities more and prioritise our suburbs over others. We need to put money into the right projects and not overspend on things to look smarter than they should be! We need to think of solutions outside of the box. Need to hear from the residents more often at a community board level.
About me
I will make a good elected representative as I will listen to everyone. I help others in my local community through advocacy. I have a heart for people. It is my passion to see people's lives changed for the better. I have been involved in politics of some sort for several years. I will make sure residents use the resources available to them at a community board level. I want to see Burwood thrive again.
My priorities
- Bring back bus routes within the suburbs, so the disabled and elderly have better access too.
- Make sure roads footpaths are fixed for use, for too long the eastern suburbs have not been done.
- Flooding remediation. Looking into new ways to counteract the flooding we will continue to have.
