Why I'm standing
I am standing for re-election because I believe our city is on the cusp of great potential. We have beautiful gullies, walkways, gardens, along with thriving community centres, arts and sporting facilities and I want to see this continue and develop. I have been in Council for one term - having knowledge at the table is vital especially as we face infrastructure challenges. I bring knowledge, hard work and diverse relationships and connections.
About me
I am known for being collaborative and respectful. I am a present and accountable city councillor. I attend a vast variety of community events. I listen and I respond to community concerns. I am honest and I bring a long-term focus. I am a strong analytical thinker and ask important questions.
My priorities
- Prioritise water infrastructure and support community housing providers to improve home affordability.
- Invest in nature, sustainable transport and waste minimisation to safeguard the future.
- Improve finances through shared services, reduced reliance on consultants and better benchmarking.
