Why I'm standing

Time and again, ratepayers have been let down with higher rates, more bureaucracy and wasteful projects, while core services are neglected. It's time to give council a wake-up call and get back to basics – safe streets, working infrastructure and value for money. By voting for me as your ACT Local candidate, you know what you will get: lower rates, practical solutions and a focus on essential services like roads, water and rubbish.

About me

As your elected member of the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board and with my background in law I have 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 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 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.
