Why I'm standing

Sleep is a basic need; lack of sleep harms people; reduces economic productivity. I brought post-2020 Alert Level 4 security matters, eg noise, thefts, bullethole, aggravated robberies – to our MP on behalf of my body corporate and neighbourhood store last year, and was unsatisfied. I know that the two instances of suicide in the city centre that I know of won't be the last, but I will make sure our wellbeing is not neglected solely from being unheard.

About me

I'm from Palmy, been here for 10 years in a CBD apartment. The transient city centre population is a challenge. I will man it like any club committee or software project, with succession planning always in mind, and be a kaitiaki of the role and identities I represent. I've served time in community organisations – body corporate, Mensa, university clubs and sport. I believe meeting basic needs would reduce the matters keeping people up at night.

My priorities
  1. Facilitate better coordination of council and body corporates and police regarding noise control, security footage.
  2. Reserve proportionate amount of basic needs eg community spaces, security, in high-density areas.
  3. Prioritising long-term maintenance plans and capital investment, in public transport and services.
