The mayor appoints the deputy mayor, establishes committees for particular topics, and appoints chairs for those committees. This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper.

Why I'm standing
To enable robust debate around all policy on the election table.
About me
I am not into blowing my own trumpet but something has to be done about the non-participation of the electorate in civic engagement and crucially, in voting. That is my primary mission.
My priorities
- Plan for sustainability and foster resilience.
- Encourage and embrace engagement in local and national issues.
