Why I'm standing

I believe I have the skills and experience to achieve positive change in our district. I have really enjoyed being a councillor and wish to continue to serve our communities. My experience at council and a collaborative, positive approach to leadership will be vital to guide council through the major reforms of local government coming up.

About me

I am a current councillor. I chair two council committees. I am a qualified hearings commissioner. I have been a professional in corporate finance for ten years. I hold leadership positions in a wide variety of community organisations in the environmental, social, charitable and economic sectors. I will bring a younger perspective and a positive approach.

My priorities
  1. Build fit for purpose roading infrastructure to support economic growth.
  2. Provide quality community facilities to enhance the wellbeing of our communities.
  3. Maintain sound financial management.
