Geoff Hughes
Why I'm standing
I don't believe that elected representatives implement policies that are necessarily in the best interest of ratepayers.
About me
I have a background in business and accounting. I know how to read and analyse financial statements. I will focus on cost savings, as well as making decisions that, I believe, will benefit ratepayers. I care about this community and I want to safeguard it going forward. We need to make decisions that will benefit generations to come.
My priorities
- Repair and maintain infrastructure so that it adequately serves the needs of ratepayers.
- Keep rates increases at an affordable level, as ratepayers cannot afford hefty increases in rates.
- Develop a better method of waste disposal to avoid continuing to bury waste in landfills.
