Why I'm standing
I am passionate to do all I can to ensure my young family experience the same great upbringing in the areas that I did. Recent proposals to enable reckless intensification, loosen heritage protections, and threats to our green space threaten this future. Complimenting our wonderfully safe and welcoming community, our heritage charm and green space makes the area so special and needs to be protected for future generations. If lost they will be gone forever.
My priorities
- Object to intensification as proposed in the latest unity plans without proper infrastructure.
- Protect from threats to our heritage overlay and proposed development of green spaces.
- Target wasteful spending to ensure essential services expected by ratepayers are properly delivered.
