Why I'm standing

Ratepayers have been let down with higher rates, bureaucracy and wasteful projects, while core services are neglected. It's time to get council to wake up and get back to basics. Safe streets, working infrastructure and value for money. I know the challenges our community faces. Rising costs, failing pipes and poor roads show that priorities are wrong. If you want to see common sense restored and wasteful spending stopped, please give me your first preference vote.

About me

I am a business owner and an IT graduate with proven experience solving problems and delivering results. I know how to cut waste, manage budgets and hold decision-makers accountable. I understand the pressures families and businesses face from rising costs and poor council performance. My focus is simple: keep rates affordable, protect core services like roads, water and rubbish, and restore transparency so every dollar can be tracked.

My priorities
  1. Cut waste and keep rates low by focusing the council on essentials only.
  2. Fix basics such as roads, drains and water infrastructure that locals depend on.
  3. Cut red tape so homes and businesses can grow affordably.
