Why I'm standing
I am passionate about making a positive impact in our district. I am a parent and want my children to thrive in a vibrant community with top-notch services. I believe it is time for our council to prioritise essential infrastructure projects and cut unnecessary spending. I am committed to providing stable leadership to achieve this vision.
About me
I will weigh advice with the evidence, listen to the community's voice, conduct my own research and make decisions that benefit the community. With my background in social services, I am committed to finding the best solutions. I enjoy discussing the issues that matter most with the people who call this district home.
My priorities
- Conduct a thorough review of the council's activities to optimise time and cost efficiency.
- Boost the district's growth, appeal to a younger demographic and encourage them to make Gore home.
- Ensure the community's voice is heard by establishing more effective consultation methods.
