Future West

Why I'm standing

I want to work with and for our community to support flourishing communities across the West, with good public and active transport options, parks, healthy ecosystems, and local art. I look forward to bringing my expertise in housing and urban form to the local board.

About me

I'm an architect and environmentalist, and as a Glen Eden resident I am aware of both the positives of new housing for our communities, and the negatives of poorly planned development. I will bring my expertise in housing and urban form to the local board, as well as skills in project management and co-ordinating inter-disciplinary teams for a common goal.

My priorities

  1. Support walkable, bike friendly communities connected to the wider city with good public transport.
  2. Fight for biodiversity and tree protection, and greenspace provision.
  3. Seek opportunities for public engagement and community events.
