Why I'm standing
As a lifelong Bays resident I love our area and believe we must continually strive to preserve and build on what we have. As a member of the Backing the Bays team we have a strong, ambitious action plan that we want to see delivered in the next three years. I believe we have the mix of skills, experience and local knowledge to get the job done and make a difference.

I've excellent community connections. Long-term Justice of the Peace. I know how council works and understand the importance of working collaboratively and constructively with others to get the positive outcomes our community wants and deserves.
